Instructions

  1. Step 1: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to the brim. Pour in 2 oz gin, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, and 3/4 oz spiced honey syrup.
  2. Step 2: Shake vigorously for 12 seconds until the shaker feels chilled to the touch.
  3. Step 3: Strain the mixture into a chilled Collins glass filled halfway with fresh ice cubes.
  4. Step 4: Top with 2 oz club soda and gently stir with a bar spoon for 10 seconds to combine without losing fizz.
  5. Step 5: Express a wide lemon twist over the surface, twisting to release oils, then rest it on the rim.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with a cinnamon stick placed vertically inside the glass for aroma and presentation.
