The original purpose of honey in this simple Prohibition Era cocktail was to mask the smell of the bathtub gin. Now you can enjoy it without having to hide a thing.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 1 servings

  • 2 fluid ounces gin

  • ½ fluid ounce lemon juice

  • ¾ fluid ounce honey syrup

  • 1 cup ice cubes

Directions

  1. Combine gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add ice, cover and shake until chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Editor's Note:

May substitute honey for honey syrup, though the honey will often form a ball in the middle of the shaker. Avoid this by combining three parts honey to one part hot water, stirring until completely mixed, then continuing with recipe.
