Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz gin
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.75 oz honey syrup (1:1 ratio of honey and water)
- 3 slices fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 dashes hot sauce
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 oz seltzer water
- 1 piece lemon wheel (optional, for garnish)
- 1 piece fresh mint sprig (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by making the honey syrup: combine equal parts honey and hot water in a small bowl or jar, stirring until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool before use.
In a cocktail shaker, add the thinly sliced fresh ginger and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Muddle them together using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the ginger's flavor.
Add the gin, honey syrup, and dashes of hot sauce to the shaker. Fill it with ice cubes, then securely close the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
Double strain the cocktail into a tall glass filled with fresh ice (use a fine mesh strainer to catch the ginger solids).
Top the drink with seltzer water and gently stir to combine.
Garnish with a lemon wheel and a fresh mint sprig, if desired, for an aromatic touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your bold and refreshing Courage Cocktail!
