Think skinny at your Cinco de Mayo party
Skinny Margarita made with Butter Bean Honey. Our Butter Bean Honey comes straight from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Its silky smooth flavor with hints of peach makes it a perfect pair for your favorite silver tequila. The recipe is simple and, best of all, guilt-free!
Peach Margarita with fresh peaches and Autumn Honey. You could actually craft this cocktail using any of our delicious honey. We’ve made it with blueberry, blackberry and orange blossom honey as well.
Did you just say mojito?
When you make one with honey, it makes all the difference in the flavor. This one we made with a craft spectacular club soda that we found at our local grocer and boy does it have a kick! Muddle in a few fresh blueberries, and you've achieved perfection. This mojito recipe is timed well for the warmer weather that's setting in.
Do you salsa?
Summer Salsa is a lovely sweet and savory happy hour treat. If you are familiar with the canning process, you can make a big pot of this and can it to enjoy all winter long. One of my favorite things to do on the Eastern Shore is visiting my friend Joyce, foraging in her garden, and creating a new recipe. This one was straightforward and so delicious because everything that we made with our hands came from the earth, (the chips, however, were store-bought.)
Eastern Shore Honey-Marinated Fish Tacos with Slaw! We use honey twice in this recipe - once in our fish marinade and once in our slaw. We recommend a light, mild honey to give the dish a balanced sweetness. Avocado Honey plays well with the cilantro and lime, while our Spring Honey imparts a nice bright flavor.
