Sometimes Friday calls for champagne in the afternoon. In preparation for festive holiday parties, we made a spritzer version of a favorite cocktail at the Driftwood Room (Hotel Deluxe in Portland, OR).
Ingredients:
1/4 oz St. George Spirits California Agricole Rum
Dash of The Bitter Housewife Aromatic Bitters
1/4 Lime, juice from
A handful of ice cubes
Dollop of Bee Local Honey (we chose Cherry Wood Smoked, but you should pick a local favorite!)
Champagne
(Makes 1 cocktail)
Add lime juice, rum, bitters and ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Twist on the lid and give it a good shake. Sieve into a chilled glass with a small dollop of honey at the bottom. Twist lime with a knife and add for garnish. Top with champagne and enjoy!

Interesting cocktail, I will definitely try it out.
