The Witcher’s White Honey Cocktail for Season 4

The Baptism of Fire installment in The Witcher book series comes to life on screen this October 30 with the release of season four on Netflix. We couldn’t let the latest season of The Witcher come ravage us without a White Honey Cocktail in hand. Modeled after Gerald himself, our recipe comes in honor of season four. The homemade honey simple syrup and luxardo cherry are luscious, sweet, and utterly smooth. But, bourbon and apple bitters bring down a sharp sword with a bite. It’s the perfect representation of Geralt’s love for Ciri and Yennefer versus his Witcher nature.

What is to Come in The Witcher Season 4?

The fourth season of The Witcher takes a huge turn from the series’ previous season. Most significantly, the departure of Henry Cavill means we see Liam Hemsworth taking over Geralt of Rivia. This season’s storyline also comes from Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel, Baptism of Fire, where Geralt is recovering from injuries as well as embarking on a pivotal journey. His main quest is to find and rescue Ciri. She is now traveling alone after the end of season three and discovering more about her own powers. We’ll even see Geralt form a new band of companions that bring him to book fan-favorites archer Milva and philosopher Regis.
