📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the honey syrup: Combine equal parts honey and water (say, 2 tablespoons each if you’re only making a few cocktails) in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Warm in the microwave or over the stovetop just until you can completely stir the honey into the water. Set aside.
2
Before juicing your lemons, use a vegetable peeler or channel knife to peel off a strip(s) of zest for your twist.
3
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.
