Before we get to mixing, muddle fresh sliced honeydew melon and strain the juice.  In a shaker combine Pantalones Organic Blanco Tequila, your freshly muddled honeydew melon juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, agave nectar, and drop your mint leaves in.

Honey whiskey 101: What it is, how to use it, and which brands to try now
what exactly is honey whiskey?
Tullamore D.E.W Irish Whiskey

Flavored whiskey is big business in the spirits world. Take a stroll along the aisles at your local liquor store or peruse your go-to online retailer, and you’ll be met with myriad flavored whiskeys. This includes flavors such as cinnamon, maple, chocolate, fruit, and honey (among others). And I could write an article about the various popular flavored whiskeys. But today is all about honey. What exactly is honey whiskey?

In my years of writing professionally, I’ve tried my fair share of flavored whiskeys. Many of which are honey whiskeys. While I wouldn’t drink these whiskeys every day and likely not neat (not judging you if you do) or on the rocks, they are well-suited for a wintry Hot Toddy or to elevate your favorite whiskey-based cocktail.

I tried the viral Amalfi lemon sorbet and here’s what surprised me most
The TikTok-famous Amalfi lemon sorbet: worth the hype or just pretty?
Italy lemon sorbet

On TikTok, "foodtok" and "traveltok" often overlap—two of my biggest passions. Before my trip to Italy, my TikTok "for you" page was inundated with reels of Italian lemon sorbet, served inside the lemon itself instead of in a bowl. Suddenly, I found my entire feed taken over by this eye-catching Italian lemon dessert, originating from Italy's Amalfi Coast.

As I saw more videos of this treat, I assumed it would be one of those treats that gain popularity based on visual appeal alone and often lack flavor. After all, the presentation in the lemon itself is undeniably appetizing. When I arrived on the Amalfi Coast, it felt only right to try this famous treat in the very place it was born. Here's what surprised me most about this frozen sensation (and why you should never assume based on what you see on social media).
