A Honey Bear Claw With a Little Less Sting

The classic bear claw, also known as the bear fight, is a two-for-one shot cocktail that’s a whole lot of chugging in not a lot of time. Thankfully, you can craft a kinder, gentler, more sippable type of bear claw–the honey bear claw–with this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1½ ounces honey liqueur
• ½ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Ice
• 4 ounces lemon White Claw
• Lemon wheel and rosemary sprig for garnish

Variations of the Honey Bear Claw

Consider a few of these ideas to put your own spin on a honey bear claw cocktail.

• Use a honey vodka in place of honey liqueur. If you don’t have either on hand, add a half-ounce of honey to the ingredients and be sure to shake thoroughly to dissolve it completely.
• Swap the flavors around. Opt for a lemon vodka or liqueur and honey syrup.
• Change out the flavors a bit more with lemon vodka and maple syrup.
• Consider vanilla liqueur with honey syrup.

Honey Bear Claw Drink Garnishes

No drink is complete without a garnish, and the honey bear claw is no expectation. Any of these will make yours pop a little extra.

• Garnish with a small piece of honeycomb, piercing it with a cocktail skewer and balancing it on the rim.
• Instead of a fresh lemon wheel, use a dehydrated lemon or other types of citrus for a fun look.
• Add a pop of color with a lemon twist or peel. You can also use other citrus fruits such as lime, orange, or grapefruit.
• Pierce a honey or lemon-flavored gummy candy or two on a cocktail skewer.
