Drink of the Week: Hey Honey Bear by Josue Romero

All Natural Mixmasters with Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur

I was inspired to create this cocktail because of World Bee Day, which took place this year on May 20. Sometimes we forget how necessary bees are to our ecosystem. This special day and the upcoming Pollinator Week from June 22 – 28 both raise awareness about the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development.
