Peter Hoffman keeps beehives on the roof of his apartment building in downtown Manhattan, not far from Savoy. "They're very successful foragers," he says of the bees. "They find all the flowering trees and plants on the rooftop gardens around my apartment." He uses his superior honey to sweeten this excellent South American-inspired cocktail; the only additional ingredients are muddled limes, cachaça and water.
