Cook Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces gin (I love Hendrick's, Oola and The Botanist)
  • 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Honey simple syrup
  • 1/2 ounce Elderflower liqueur
  • Ice
  • HONEY SIMPLE SYRUP
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • MAKE THE HONEY SIMPLE SYRUP: In a small microwave safe bowl heat water until it's REALLY hot. Remove carefully (bowl will be hot) and stir in honey until it completely dissolves. Let cool.
  • If you like your cocktails sweet, use a 1:2 ratio - 1 tablespoon water and 2 tablespoons honey.
  • Place all ingredients in a shaker with a ton of ice.
  • Shake vigorously until your hand feels like it's gonna fall off, about 35 seconds.
  • The shaker should have lots of condensation on it.
  • Pour into a coupe glass or your favorite cocktail glass.
