The boy and his poison: The Business



This is my de facto favourite drink to entertain with. As I discovered the other day, having a recipe in your back pocket that looks great in any glass, tastes fantastic and can be made with even a modest liquor cabinet is essential (especially if you're dealing with a gusset of thirsty Domestic Sluts).

Somewhere between a syrupy gimlet and a limey 'Bee's Knees', credit to the drink goes to New York's infamous Milk and Honey speakeasy. Its perfect strained into a coupe glass, served over ice if you don't have a shaker or if you're feeling a little flush top it up with some bubbles.

You'll need:
  • 50ml of gin
  • 30ml of lime juice
  • 1tbsp of honey
Make it:
  • Spoon your honey into a heatproof container or jar and microwave it for a few seconds to loosen the consistency
  • Add the lime juice and gin to the honey with a handful of ice and stir for 10 seconds 
  • Strain or just plonk a straw straight in.

  1. I do enjoy this drink.

    Now, dear Nick. What's with putting all our boozes in jam jars? Can't we just use nice glasses like normal people?

    1. Honest reason… or should I build upon your belief that I'm slowly converting my house into a speakeasy where I subsist on bar snacks and gin jars?

    2. That's definitely the best reason. Besides, gin is better than jam.

    1. Yes. If you substitute the Gin for Vodka (Why would you do such a thing?!) and you have a famous Kenyan drink - 'Dawa' which is Swahili for 'Medicine'. It probably has other history, but that is how I first came across it.
