Ingredients

lemons

honey

vodka

sparkling water – my favorite is Waterloo

optional: basil, mint, rosemary, or thyme

 

Instructions

This makes 1 cocktail, but you can make as many as you want. A smaller glass will yield a stiffer cocktail.

  1. Juice 1 lemon.
  2. In an empty glass, mix lemon juice with 1 tbsp honey until completely dissolved. Taste and add more honey if needed. It should taste like concentrated lemonade.
  3. Add 2 oz vodka. Stir to combine. Add herbs, if using, and muddle slightly.
  4. Fill glass with ice.
  5. Top with sparkling water and a twist.
