Hot Honey KOVAL Whiskey Spritz
This festive spritz is like a Penicillin cocktail that’s ready to party — and ooh, she’s spicy. Served tall and proud in a highball glass, it’s a delicious combination of ginger-infused hot honey syrup, bright lemon juice, sparkly Prosecco, and creamy, spicy KOVAL four-grain whiskey. The bubbles cut through the spice, balance out the sweetness of the honey, and lighten everything up. It’s best served cold; we recommend breaking out your fanciest ice cubes.
We love KOVAL because they craft their spirits from scratch using the best ingredients, and they closely monitor every step of the process, from sourcing grains harvested by trusted farmers to milling, mashing, distilling, aging, and bottling on-site. You can taste the difference!
