Bee Sting Cocktail
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce hot honey syrup
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 1 pinch red chili flakes for garnish
- 1 piece lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey and red chili flakes over low heat. Once fragrant, bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the water and let cool completely.
- Strain to a clean glass jar and seal tightly with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add gin, hot honey syrup and lemon juice. Shake well.
- Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube, or a coupe glass without ice. Garnish with more chili flakes and a piece or lemon zest.
Notes
For an even spicier flavor, leave the chili flakes in the syrup. They will continue to infuse and strengthen the flavor. You can also use more or less chili flakes to adjust the spice level.
If you already have hot honey and don't need to make your own, mix ½ cup of hot honey with ½ cup of water over medium heat. Stir until combined.
