Scoville Sour


I've heard that eating honey helps with hayfever as it gets the body used to the pollen that you're allergic to. Even if it doesn't work in that way, I have an appetite for sugar during hayfever season, and honey is healthier than chocolate bars or whatever.

This spring I tried to eat local honey every day during allergy season, and while I didn't notice an improvement, it was fun. Best was the Scoville Sour, a drink from No.9 Park, which has both honey and maple syrup in it. Apparently I'm allergic to Maple pollen, so this sounded like a good idea.

It's
2.5 oz Hendricks
1 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz honey simple syrup
1/2 oz maple syrup
1/4 tsp cayenne and espelette pepper mix
