I’m getting back on the horse in the best way I know how, with an interesting gin cocktail.\u00c2\u00a0 As I flipped through Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails looking at the recipes I marked some time ago, the Bebbo cocktail stood out as an intriguing mix.\u00c2\u00a0 The combination of citrus, gin and honey sounds truly delightful.\u00c2\u00a0 Now, as for the name, I can offer you nothing more than what Dr. Cocktail has tracked down.\u00c2\u00a0 Namely, “‘Bebbo’ is Konkani (one of the twenty-two official languages of India) for frog.”\u00c2\u00a0 Enlightening, though I think his earlier sentiment summed it up much better.\u00c2\u00a0 “Another idiotically named drink.”<\/p>\n

No matter the name, I’m excited by the possibilities of this drink.\u00c2\u00a0 First, it’s one of my first forays into the use of honey in a cocktail.\u00c2\u00a0 Seems there are some tricks to mixing with honey and I’m also excited about getting to try a couple different honeys to see if there is a difference.\u00c2\u00a0 Second, there’s something I’ve been wondering for a while.\u00c2\u00a0 What is the true flavor impact of gin versus vodka?\u00c2\u00a0 Sure, I know it’s going to be huge, but I want to find out how huge.<\/p>\n

So cocktail companions.\u00c2\u00a0 Shall we get started?<\/p>\n
