Ingredients

For the Syrup:

  • 12 oz. honey
  • 4 oz. water
  • 2 tbsp chamomile flowers

For the Cocktail:

  • 1 ½ oz. gin
  • ½ oz. elderflower liqueur
  • ¾ oz. lemon juice fresh
  • ¾ oz. chamomile honey syrup see recipe
  • club soda
  • honey

Instructions

For the Syrup:

  • Combine 12 oz. of honey and 4 oz. of water in a pot and added 2 tablespoons of dried chamomile flowers.
    You can also use chamomile tea bags if that’s easier, but I feel that using the dried flowers yields the best flavor.
  • Let it simmer on the stove for 10 minutes and then remove from heat and let completely cool. Strain the syrup over a bowl with a fine strainer to remove the flowers.

For the Cocktail:

  • To make the cocktail, add gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon, and chamomile honey syrup to your shaker, add ice and shake.
    Strain into your desired serving vessel.
