Method
Step 1
Add honey and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker, stir until honey dissolves. Add mint leaves and muddle, then add gin, Italicus, Cointreau, lavender bitters and ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Finish off with expressed lemon zest.
Step 2
OR if you want a lighter drink, add to a Collins glass and top with club soda. I tried it both ways and loved it.
