This Rye Crush is Maryland made.
Making craft cocktails is especially fun when we find small-batch handmade spirits to pair with our Eastern Shore Honey.
This Rye holds a special place in our heart as it’s also homegrown in Maryland. This Rye Crush is a classic cocktail made with Sagamore Rye made by Sagamore Spirit, not too far from our Honey House. with lovely packaging.
I am always trying to find ways to make dishes and drinks with fewer calories so I skipped the syrupy sweet liquor often found in crushes. The honey makes it sweet enough. When you make this cocktail, fresh-squeezed orange juice is a must!
