Miller Lite is a light American pilsner that tastes crisp, clean, and refreshing. It features a delicate balance of subtle, bready malt sweetness and a slightly toasted, grainy flavor profile, finished by a mild, floral hop bitterness that fades quickly. 

41% Brix

Easy to make at home, hot honey syrup is a great way to add the flavor of heat that is already balanced by a floral sweetness. 

4 oz (120 mL/113.5 g) Honey 

4 oz (120 mL/113.5 g) Water 

1 Tbs (3 g) Red Pepper Flakes 

Pinch Salt 

In a saucepan, combine Honey, Water, Red Pepper Flakes and Salt.  Place on medium low heat and stir to combine.  Allow to come to a slight boil and reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes.  Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.  Fine strain into a syrup container.  Store in a cool, dark place 

5-6% acidity 

Less acidic than lime juice, lemon juice will add enough acidity to brighten flavors without overpowering when balanced with sweetness.   Usually our preference when needing acid to emulsify with egg white,  aquafaba or cream. 

6% - 8.5% Acidity 

Lime juice is generally the most acidic of the citrus fruit juices used cocktails.  The high acidity can help balance flavors and smooth bitterness as well as astringent flavors of high-spirited or unfiltered alcohol. Limes that have had more time to ripen will render a more concentrated and sweeter flavor with floral notes adding complexity to a cocktail.  It is advisable to taste your fresh-pressed juice and adjust added sweeteners accordingly. 

Ground cinnamon adds a warming and earthy flavor in the front bringing out fruit flavors towards the middle of the palate and bring chocolate flavors from the back towards the front.  Ground Cinnamon can also add a texture in the form of grittiness when laid on top of the cocktail and a silkiness when suspended inside the cocktail.
