Firebird's Honey Vodka
My husband and I just love the chilled, honey vodka that the restaurant Firebird, in NYC, serves. One night while having a drink at Michael Jordan's in Grand Central Station we were talking about it and our bartender said he used to work there and knew the recipe. He wrote this recipe onto a cocktail napkin for us. Since then, 4-5 years ago, we make this every Christmas. I don't think it is exactly the same as Firebird's but it is still really good! Store it in the freezer and serve chilled.
