If you’re in need of a drink that will free up your soul and give your spirits a little lift, Jessica from How Sweet It Is has whipped up a special cocktail made for the girl who is wildly bohemian. This little gem is the perfect companion for all of life’s little adventures under the sun.
What you need:
- 3 ounces gin
- 1/2 – 1 ounce honey sage syrup, depending on your desired level of sweetness (recipe below)
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 5 ounces club soda
- fresh sage leaves for garnish
Honey sage syrup:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 5-6 fresh sage leaves
What you do:
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and stir until it appears that all of the honey has dissolved. Remove from heat and let sit until completely cooled to room temperature. Remove sage leaves before using. This can be made well ahead of time and store in a jar in the fridge.
For the smoked honey rim:
- Honey
- Fine smoked sea salt
- Finely crumbled bacon
(Note: one slice of bacon will garnish about 4-6 glasses if you only coat 1/4 of the rim.)
