While delicious on its own, here are a few quick and easy cocktail recipes that showcase honey wine (AKA mead).

Meadmosa

2 parts chilled mead (honey wine)
part fresh orange juice

Serve in a champagne flute with an orange twist. A new brunch time favorite!

Honey Wine Spritzer

2 parts mead (honey wine)
1 part sparkling water or 7up

Serve on the rocks with a slice of lime and sprig of mint. Very refreshing on sultry summer days. Try different combinations of botanicals, like crushed raspberries and a splash of grenadine, or apple slices with thyme.

Hot Honey Toddy

2 parts mead (honey wine)
1 part hot water

As you heat the water, add in a teaspoon of honey and a slice each of fresh ginger and lemon. Throw in a cinnamon stick. Let steep for 3 minutes, then add to mug of mead. Make two of these, since it is best enjoyed by two, ideally cuddled up on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace.
