Notes
Here are a few tips and tricks I keep in mind. Adjust the honey syrup to suit your taste. For a sweeter drink, add a bit more; for a tangy one, stick to the recipe.
I sometimes mix things up by infusing the gin with rosemary or lavender for added depth. Feel free to experiment with different garnishes too. Let me know your favorite twist in the comments! ๐โจ
