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.
