This creation is a riff on the classic honey-sweetened cocktail that dates back to the 1920s, where it was a cocktail menu favorite. This version adds the floral depth of lavender to rich honey and bright citrus, to play up the botanicals, spice and citrus notes of Gin No. 6 – it’s a delightful way to bring this classic cocktail into spring!
