A light, fresh, sunshine-in-a-glass kind of drink!

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp honey

  • 50ml dry gin

  • 25ml lemon juice

  • ice

  • lemon zest strip, to serve

Method

  • STEP 1: Put the honey in a small jug or cup and add 1 tsp freshly boiled water. Stir well until smooth and the honey is nicely thinned down.

  • STEP 2” Pour the honey mixture into a cocktail shaker along with the gin, lemon juice and a large handful of ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.

  • STEP 3: Double strain into a cocktail glass or a coupe and garnish with a curled strip of lemon zest – you can do this by wrapping it tightly around a spoon handle.
