I'm a mixologist in Kenya and I have made the Dawa cocktail for six good years and not once have I ever used sugar or shaken it. It's basically muddling 4 to 5 lime wadges with 2 barspoons of honey add in the vodka and stire the drink then top up with crushed ice.. Not sugar.. Any one that's making it with sugar they are doing it all wrong, Owh and it comes in a rock glass not the highball.

Yes, the original was made in a Rocks glass. But it does contain sugar, even the original Carnivore restaurant lists sugar as ingredient. But everyone is allowed to do variations. If you haven't tried shaking it, give it a try, it's really good. tamarind.co.ke/restaurant.php?carnivore

@@TheEducatedBarfly American living here in Kenya for 4 years and I have to say I was surprised by the addition of sugar as well. I have seen sugar used instead of heny at places where honey wasn't affordable but generally it's one of the other and almost always honey. Not surprised the original uses both, just goes to show how people make recipes their own. I'm going to give it a try with your honey syrup recipe and no sugar. Love the idea of the Dawa tray as well. That would be fun with visitors.

Dawa is made with lemons. In Kenya plenty of lemon varieties are green, so it's an honest mistake. Also the Dawa tea is ancient and people have been pouring booze in it for ages so it is definitely not invented at Carnivore.

Looking at the video the Kenyan appears to be using much chunkier ice and combined with the African heat I'd imagine the honey would release much quicker than indoors with pebble ice. In fact I think the more citrus forward cold start would be very refreshing, followed by a sweeter savoury finish as you get to eating would be very nice. Now I'm kinda sad I didn't try this when I visited Carnivore, might have to try this if I have some apt honey in the cupboard.

Well you have to take into account that Honey is sweet. But they also have other flavors honey to honey, region to region and that’s what makes it such an interesting ingredient. So if we already know that honey is sweet, and we accept that, then what we can do is try and break down the flavors further and pick out different elements.
