Did you notice the honey syrup in this cocktail? There are plenty of alternatives to traditional simple syrup if you’re looking to cut out processed sugar. Like the maple syrup in this Hoser Rum Cocktail, which you can add to taste (makes a lovely hot or cold cocktail). The Caldera uses honey lavender syrup and the Dark Monk uses honey syrup.
