I recently bottled my first mead (or honey-wine for the uninformed)…

the Recipe

• clover honey
• orange
• whole clove
• ground cinnamon
• ground ginger
• raisins

For all you homebrewers out there, I have also posted a more detailed description of the recipe and process.

I also thought it would be a neat thing to come up with a cool label design for the bottles, most of which are the swing-top variety. The packaging design features a honey bee outline (it’s mead, remember?) and some honey comb and textural backgrounds.

By the way, if you are a friend of mine in the Jupiter, West Palm, or Palm Beach Gardens area, please let me know if you come across any of these swing-top bottles; I really love using them for all my homebrews.

Also, let me know what you think of my label design!
