Equipment

  • cocktail shaker

Ingredients
 

  • 2 oz gin
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz honey syrup
  • lemon peel garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • To a shaker, add ice. Pour the gin, honey and lemon juice over the ice. Shake for 1-2 minutes, or until chilled.

Notes

How to Peel a Lemon Garnish - If you’re handy with a pairing knife, you can just slice an even strip of lemon peel and twist it into a spiral, or slide the knife as you rotate the lemon in your hands to create a natural spiral shape. (Be careful!) If you’re not confident doing this with a knife, you can use vegetable peeler instead.
