Equipment

1 cocktail shaker or 1 qt. glass jar with lid
1 orange and lemon squeezer

Ingredients

2 Tbs Buzz Savories artisanal honey
1 Tbs. hot water
½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 splash freshly squeezed orange juice (optional)
2 jiggers or 6 oz. gin (optional)
8 medium ice cubes

Instructions

Because honey does not melt in cold liquids and will form a ball, mix honey with ½ Tb. really hot water and stir until honey dissolves. To serve more people, make a simple syrup with honey - 3 parts honey to 1 part boiling water. Stir to blend, cover and refrigerate.
