Recipe: Spicy Honey Margarita by Bushwick Kitchen’s Casey Elsass

October 25, 2017

In the brand new issue of Lagom, we’ve got a big feature on Casey Elsass, the founder of Brooklyn’s Bushwick Kitchen — a company that makes some truly spectacular sauces, honeys, and syrups. Our appetite was whet to such a degree while interviewing Casey that we decided to ask him to create a couple of recipes exclusively for Lagom. This first one is his take on a Margarita, using some of his Bees Knees Spicy Honey. Enjoy!
