honey

room-temperature water

lemon juice

Combine honey and water in a cocktail shaker; stir until the honey is dissolved. Add gin and lemon juice and fill the shaker three-fourths full of ice. Cover and shake until chilled, about 20 seconds. Strain the cocktail into a glass and garnish with a lemon twist, if desired.


Perfect balance of sweet and citrus! I top it off with prosecco if we have some. This has become one of my favorite cocktails to enjoy at home.

This recipe has just the right amount of sweetness to balance the gin and lemon.
