Sweeter Than A Honeybee
They’ve been immortalized in song by everyone from Van Morrison to Taj Mahal. But outside the jukebox, the world’s honeybee population has been generating a little less buzz in recent years – they’re in steep decline. Now David Luks, the founder of Honeydrop, has developed a line of drinks that will bring a song to your lips and a little more natural sweetness back into the world.
Why We Love It!
The health benefits of honey are myriad – it’s antibacterial and antimicrobial, and can even act to lessen the severity of allergies. Chock full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, it has a lower glycemic index than many other commonly used sweeteners. With a tablespoon of the wonder nectar in each bottle, Honeydrop’s beverages offer a tasty kick and none of the unpleasant side effects (blood sugar spikes, dehydration) that can come with other sweetened drinks.
Honeydrop also works to support the animals that lend it its name and cute branding. A portion of proceeds from each bottle go towards the Buy a Bottle – Save a Bee initiative, which works to support local beekeepers and fight Colony Collapse Disorder.
Our Pick
The smooth blend of Green Tea left a calm and soothing feeling in its wake. For more of a kick, the Lemon Ginger flavor will have you humming like a hive, ready to pull an all-nighter or run a marathon – all on natural fuel. And the Lemon Tea is the distilled taste of a lazy summer afternoon: spent outside, for preference.
Price Check
Honeydrop beverages are a steal at just $22 for a twelve-pack (or if you’re in New York, swing by one of the many brick and mortar options). For the perfect refreshing buzz, there’s nothing sweeter.
