You’ll find Honey in the heart of Auckland’s shopping and dining area, and the bar lives in the impressive historical Administrator House. The Honey team is known for delectable cocktails, so we headed along to find out if the talk is true.
Ben, one of the Honey bartenders whipped us up this tasty espresso martini cocktail which you can try out for yourself at home!

Ingredients: Espresso shot 30ml Baileys 30ml vodka 15ml butterscotch liqueur 30ml Cream A dash of coffee liqueur
Pour ingredients into a mixing glass and top up with ice
Put a shaker over the top of the glass and shake well.
Strain into a martini glass
Tip coffee liqueur down the inside of the martini glass - this is heavier than the rest of the cocktail so will sink to the bottom.
Garnish with a few coffee beans on top.
Enjoy your cocktail and get your coffee fix at the same time!
