Honey Lemon Gin Cocktail

This special Honey Lemon Gin Cocktail is one to keep an eye out for. It’s rare, bespoke and incredibly delicious. The flavour of Honey in this cocktail gives the gin a wonderful aroma and taste which in turn makes the gin incredibly pleasant to drink. So pleasant that I may or may not have ended up feeling rather tipsy.

At the end of making this Honey Lemon Gin Cocktail, we used the Honey lemon premix in a small amount to add it to other food/beverage items and it tasted just as good. I was instantly in love. It’s the perfect balance of tart lemon, sweet and fragrant honey. That’s what makes this cordial the perfect addition to gin cocktails. It also works so beautifully when served with tonic/soda water for a non-alcoholic drink.

So get all the ingredients listed below and make this amazing drink for yourself.

Ingredients

For the Honey Lemon Syrup –

• 1 or 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• Juice and zest of 1- 1/2 lemons 

For the Honey Lemon Gin Cocktail –

1-2 Gin shots (30-60 ml)

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Allow the honey, lemon and water to cook for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is amber in colour and has thickened to a syrupy consistency. Remove from the heat then allow to cool completely. When the mixture is cool, strain the lemon zest out and pour into bottles. Keep refrigerated.

Add 1-2 shots of gin to the honey lemon syrup and top with soda.

(This cordial will last for 2-3 months if kept in a sterilised bottle in the refrigerator.)
