Instructions
Combine gin, honey syrup and lemon juice in a shaker.
Add several ice cubes and shake vigorously until liquids are chilled and mixed.
Strain into a martini glass.
Add lemon twist as garnish.
Pro Tips
Honey syrup is similar to simple syrup. The difference is that it's made with honey instead of sugar.
You can store honey syrup in the refrigerator for a week.
Slice the lemon twist from the lemon peel
before
you squeeze out the lemon juice.
We like to use a martini glass but a coupe glass will work just as well.
