Thirst Quenchers

A herby take on the classic gimlet – requires minimal ingredients and change things up from the usual G&Ts. Gin is shaken with lemon juice and a simple syrup (which you can def infuse with sage if you like) and a few fresh sage leaves. It’s a delicious, easy to drink cocktail – which means, it is definitely easy to have one too many!

Thirst Quenchers Yes, a new home, for me means a few extra happy hours in the week – because there’s always a reason to celebrate A classic gin cocktail is a bees knees cocktail – one that originates from Prohibition Era – or so the story goes. Speakeasies had homemade alcohol kept in bath tubs for service and to reduce the strong taste and aroma of the alcohol, honey and lemon were added. Now of course, it’s by choice! Honey syrup though, is ridiculously easy thing to make and store in the fridge, because this is also a healthier sweetener option for iced teas and other drinks you need sugar for! The Recipe Serves Ingredients Honey Syrup: 100g honey 100g hot water Cocktail: ¼ cup gin 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp honey syrup ice optional: fresh sage / lavender bitter / bitter orange bitter / lemon peel Instructions Honey Syrup: Simply stir together to thin out the honey Store in a glass bottle and refrigerate Cocktail: In a shaker, add the honey syrup, lemon juice and gin, and give it a stir (in the shaker, add any other flavouring add-ons as listed above) Add ice and shake Pour into a cold glass
