Honey ganache recipe?

[DistrictDarling]

A bar in NYC serves a drink called the Gold Rush (bourbon + honey + lemon juice = mmm), and tops it off with a honey ganache. I'm trying to copycat it. I can make the cocktail itself, but can't find a recipe for honey ganache. Does anyone have one, or is willing to take a guess at one?

Well done, my friend. Excellent research. Looks like honey ganache is rather creamy.

Ganache by definition is chocolate melted in hot cream. Maybe they used a honey cream and called it ganache. What color was the topping? Could it have been white chocolate mixed with honey and cream? Sounds interesting.

Hm, I immediately thought chocolate too.

What was it like? Thin, crispy? Nougaty? Mousse-y?

I actually don't know. A friend ordered the drink, and later e-mailed me to ask if I could dupulicate it. An article in the NYTimes provided the recipe ingredients, and listed "honey ganache" among them. Your guess is as good as mine as to what this means.
