Summary

Legend has it that this fresh, slightly sweet drink was born in prohibition-era america, with the honey and lemon employed to disguise the taste of poor-quality ‘bathtub gin’.

Step 1

Shortly before you want to make the cocktail, mix the honey in a small bowl with 1 tbsp boiling water. Once it’s cooled a little, put in a cocktail shaker with the gin, citrus juices and plenty of ice. Shake well, then strain into a coupe or martini glass. Garnish with the lemon zest and a chunk of honeycomb on a cocktail stick, if liked.
