The term honeymoon was coined to refer to the sweetness of a new marriage. But according to Norse legend, a man abducted his bride from a neighboring village. He was then required to take her into hiding until the bride's family abandoned their search. His whereabouts were known only to his best man. While in seclusion, the couple drank mead, a honeyed wine. 1 1/2 oz. good quality bourbon 1 oz. apple cider 1/2 oz. Calvados 1/2 oz. honey syrup* A dash of bitters 1 wide slice of orange peel *To make honey syrup, boil 1/2 cup of water together with a cup of honey until the honey dissolves. Store in a sealed jar. Measure everything into a cocktail shaker and add a good handful of ice. Shake vigorously and then strain the drink into a clear lowball glass with one large piece of ice. Rub the orange peel around the rim of the glass. Garnish with an apple slice. [Source: Original]
