Hey Friends,

Welcome to the Mom Cocktail Series, a space where we celebrate small joys, simple recipes, and the art of reclaiming a little “me time,” one glass at a time. Whether you have five minutes or fifteen, these recipes are designed to feel doable, refreshing, and just a little bit indulgent. Today, we will be making a Honey Bee Mom.

Honey Bee Mom 🍯🍋

Ingredients

• 2 oz gin
• 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1/2–3/4 oz honey syrup (see below)

Honey syrup (quick prep)

• Mix equal parts honey and warm water (e.g., 1 tbsp each) until fully dissolved.

Instructions

1. Add gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup to a shaker with ice.
2. Shake well (10–15 seconds).
3. Strain into a chilled coupe or over fresh ice in a rocks glass.
4. Optional: garnish with a lemon twist or a small sprig of thyme.

Adjustments

• Want it tarter? Add a bit more lemon.
• Sweeter and smoother? Increase the honey syrup slightly.
• For a floral twist, try a botanical gin or add a drop of orange blossom water.

If you want variations (sparkling, herbal, or stronger), I can riff on it.

~ Cheers!!
