Dawa Drink Recipe Instructions

Dawa Recipe Preparation & Instructions:

Put lime and sugar into a whisky tumbler.

Crush limes slightly, add ice and pour in the vodka.

At this point you twist a dawa stick into some honey and add the stick to the drink. A wooden honey stick or other type of stick twisted in honey will work.

Muddle limes with dawa or honey stick. The more you crush the limes into the mixture and stir the sweeter the taste.
