Bee’s Knees

Ingredients

• 60 ml gin
• 22.5 ml honey syrup (2 parts honey, 1 part hot water)
• 22.5 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Lemon twist

Preparation

1. Make the syrup: two parts honey to one part hot water, stirred until fluid. It keeps two weeks in the fridge.
2. Chill the coupe.
3. Shake the gin, syrup and lemon with plenty of ice for twelve seconds.
4. Fine-strain, so no ice shards or pulp get through.
5. Express the twist over the top and drop it in.
