honey syrup

Diluted golden sweetener

Honey syrup is a mixture of honey and water, typically in equal parts, used as a sweetener in cocktails and beverages.

The water thins the honey so it dissolves easily in cold drinks: The recipe calls for honey syrup instead of simple syrup.

Bartenders favor it for adding floral sweetness without the viscosity of pure honey.
