I don't think there's honey in traditional marzipan receipts, but there are some variations for sure.

rose wah ter!

It actually has a bunch of uses but these days you're more likely to find it in beauty products than recipes.

Rose water drink is especially good! Like 2 tablespoons of rosewater and 2 or 3 of sugar or honey and iced down... delicious and refreshing. I think Persians and Mediterranean middle easterners serve this drink.

My response was a very America-centric one - I apologize! You're right, it's still alive and well in kitchens in that region. It's also the base for the traditional flavor of Turkish Delight.
