The story behind Honey Pepper Vodka
This house vodka cocktail uses honey, black pepper and lemon to echo Eastern European flavored-vodka traditions. It is a modern site recipe rather than a historic named Russian cocktail.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
