🐝 Bee’s Knees 🐝
I think the most common question I get after “do you offer anything gluten free?” (they’re all naturally gluten free 😉) is “where do you come up with these flavors?”
Very frequently, I take inspiration from classic cocktails. Mixologists have long been blending flavors to create layered works of art. I like to think macarons fall into the same category where a good macaron has subtle flavors that you experience in layers. The same as the texture of the cookie itself. Crisp shell, chewy interior, creamy filling. I want all of the flavor notes to hit in a macaron. The tart and floral lemon, the sweet honey, and the ever so slight touch of juniper’s earthiness to balance them. None of them overpowering.
We have the perfect local ingredients to create this one. Phoenixville Honey and Bluebird Distilling gin 🍯 🍸
As for alcohol content…don’t worry, none of my cookies have any real alcohol levels. I either cook it down or with one like this, there’s actually less gin than there would be a flavor extract when I use those 😉 You would probably have to eat about 70 cookies to have the alcohol content of a glass of orange juice.
These are currently available for pickup through Monday.
Maybe it’s time to take a break and enjoy, busy bee?
