Sweeten the Deal with Savannah Bee’s Honey

By Kathleen Kim Published May 7, 2013

Here’s a dare for the serious grilling aficionado: next time you make that go-to marinade, squeeze in some honey. Trust us, it isn’t just for drizzling on your breakfast oatmeal. The versatile sweetener is Georgia-based Savannah Bee Company‘s specialty. The company’s robust Grill Honey adds a smoky-sweet flavor to marinades and helps caramelize the meats sizzling on the grill. Claim a 12 oz. bottle ($12) or the Everyday honey Sample Set ($16.25), featuring a trio of honeys, at various retailers or online.

Besides flavored honey, Savannah Bee–founded by beekeeping enthusiast Ted Dennard in 2002–offers a beeswax-based body care line. Buyers of the wooden grill planks ($10.70 for the cedar grill plank) receive a bonus: a recipe card of Dennard’s honey-glazed salmon.

The ultimate holiday weekend drink: Good Guys’ Frozen Fernet & Coke

Bitter, sweet, cold, and cola-driven

Fernet is amazing stuff. The iconic Italian amaro adds a smack of bitterness and herbaceous goodness to your favorite cocktails, balancing out the drink at large and making it oh so tasty. And the liquid goes especially well with Coke, preferably frozen.

In the spirit of summer, we reached out to Good Guys in NYC for an optimal hot-weather cocktail. You know, the one that's the equivalent of playing in front of a gushing fire hydrant in New York City on a sweltering day. And I believe we have the drink.
