Mead Cocktails
Mead Cocktails
Mead cocktails find their place on the seasonal cocktail menu as people look for UK produced, sustainable drinks to celebrate their festive rituals.
As the days draw in our desire for deeper, comforting flavours increases and the urge to draw close to the fire with a warming drink in good company is strong.
Here at the Northumberland Honey Co we have curated a range of seasonal sips and spiced mead cocktails using our Spirit of Honey distilled mead to help you celebrate the season.
Some Exceptional Mead Cocktails
