This recipe is simple, refreshing, and perfect for summer days or casual gatherings. The ice helps to mellow out the flavours of the mead, while the optional citrus adds a zesty note that pairs beautifully with honey's natural sweetness.

Ingredients:

  • 5 oz chilled mead
  • 1 oz fresh lemon or lime juice (optional for a citrusy kick)
  • 1-2 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon or lime slices for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Chill the mead: Before serving, chill the mead in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

  2. Prepare the glass: Fill a rocks glass (or any short tumbler) with ice cubes.

  3. Mix: Pour the chilled mead over the ice. If you want a citrusy twist, add the fresh lemon or lime juice.

  4. Sweeten (optional): Stir in honey or agave syrup if you'd like a sweeter drink, adjusting the amount to your preference.

  5. Garnish: Add a slice of lemon or lime and a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing aroma and presentation.

  6. Serve: Enjoy the mead on the rocks as a refreshing and light beverage.

Pairing Suggestions:

  • Light salads: The cold, crisp nature of the mead complements fresh greens, especially those with a citrus vinaigrette.
  • Seafood: Try it with shrimp cocktail, ceviche, or sushi. The acidity from the citrus enhances the flavours of the seafood.
  • Fruits and cheese: A plate of sliced fruits (like apples, pears, or berries) and mild cheeses like brie or goat cheese.
