Made with:
-
60ml Baker's Dozen Gin from Hang 10 Distillery
-
15ml coastal honey syrup
-
30ml lemon juice

Ice
How to:

Before juicing your lemons, use a vegetable peeler or channel knife to peel off a strip(s) of zest for your twist.

To make the cocktail, fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
-
Pour in the honey syrup, lemon juice and gin.
-
Securely fasten the lid and shake until the mixture is very cold, about 30 seconds.

Strain the drink into a coupe or martini glass.

Twist the lemon peel over the cocktail to release some of its oils, then drop it in. Enjoy while cold.
How to make honey syrup:Ā
Combine equal parts honey and water (say, 1/4 cup each if you're only a few cocktails) in a small saucepan. Warm over the stovetop just until you can completely stir the honey into the water. Set aside. Cool before use.
