This lovely cocktail was procured at Highland Kitchen in Somerville. My friend and I got there around 6 pm on Friday night and the place was already getting crowded. The bar stools don't have backs so we opted for the dining room. Our server was and older guy (OK, not old. Maybe about 40 but that was old in comparison to the other servers). He was very knowledgeable about the drinks being offered and this one was on the special board. It's called the Beehive and was made with Jameson's, Lemon Juice and Bahren Jaeger (a honey flavored liquor). I didn't ask about the proportions but I found it a bit too lemony. The appetizer I got was the gnocchi with braised beef. Better in concept than execution. The gnocchi were over cooked and half of them were burned. Yes, burned. After boiling, they must have been put in a pan but had been left on one side for way too long. The meat, on the other hand, was fantastic. The bread, although not a generous portion (1 smallish piece per person), was used to soak up the broth.
