FAQ's
Can I substitute another type of whiskey for the one listed in the Baileys Honey Bee recipe?

What garnish complements the Baileys Honey Bee cocktail?
A simple yet elegant garnish for the Baileys Honey Bee cocktail is a drizzle of honey around the inner rim of the glass or a few honeycomb pieces if available. Alternatively, a twist of lemon peel can add a bright citrus aroma that complements the sweetness of the honey and the richness of the Bailey's.
Is it better to shake or stir the Baileys Honey Bee cocktail?

What is the best way to serve the Baileys Honey Bee cocktail?
The Baileys Honey Bee cocktail is best served in a chilled cocktail glass. Prior to serving, you can chill the glass by filling it with ice or placing it in the freezer. Once chilled, strain the shaken mixture into the glass. This method enhances the creamy texture and rich flavors of the cocktail.
