Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 ml vodka
- 1 whole fresh lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup crushed ice
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for rimming glass)
Instructions
If you prefer, start by rimming your glass with sugar. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip it into a plate of sugar to coat.
Cut the lime into 4 wedges. Squeeze the juice of the lime wedges into a rocks or short glass, and add the wedges to the glass for additional flavor.
Drizzle the honey over the lime wedges and gently muddle them in the glass using a muddler or the back of a spoon. Ensure the honey mixes well with the lime juice.
Fill the glass with crushed ice to the top.
Pour the vodka over the crushed ice and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Optionally, garnish with a lime wheel or additional wedge for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Dawa cocktail!
