Honey mix

In a medium saucepan, bring together equal parts (by volume) honey and water over very low heat just until combined. Very little heat is required; don't cook the honey. Bottle it in olive oil bottles and add a small amount of silver rum to help stabilize and prevent crystallization.

Don's Special Daiquiri

1/2 oz fresh lime juice

1/2 oz passion fruit syrup

1/2 oz honey mix

1/2 oz silver Puerto Rican rum

1 oz gold Jamaican rum

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
