Instructions
- 1
Make the honey syrup
Whisk together 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon warm water until the honey fully dissolves. That's your honey simple syrup — it plays nicer with gin than plain sugar syrup.
- 2
Shake it cold
Add the gin, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey syrup to a shaker with a big handful of ice. Cover and shake hard for about 15 seconds, until the tin is frosty.
- 3
Strain and serve
Strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lime wheel and taste — if you went heavy on the lime, add another splash of honey syrup to balance it out.

Notes & Tips
Three ingredients, zero fuss, and it drinks like summer in a glass. Ratio's the whole game here: 2 parts gin, 1 part lime, then honey syrup to taste — start with a half and climb from there. Vodka works too if gin isn't your thing. Mocktail swap: skip the gin, bump the lime to 1.5 oz and honey syrup to 1 oz, then top with soda water over ice. Still bright, still crushable.
