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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Double strain the cocktail into a tall glass filled with fresh ice (use a fine mesh strainer to catch the ginger solids).
Step 5
Top the drink with seltzer water and gently stir to combine.
Step 6
Garnish with a lemon wheel and a fresh mint sprig, if desired, for an aromatic touch.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your bold and refreshing Courage Cocktail!
