My boyfriend dubbed this drink The Citrus Queen: 2oz Roku gin 3/4 oz Italicus 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice 1/2 oz Cointreau 1/2 oz orange blossom honey 3 dashes lavender bitters 3 large mint leaves Lemon zest garnish Add honey and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker, stir until honey dissolves. Add mint leaves and muddle, then add gin, Italicus, Cointreau, lavender bitters and ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Finish off with expressed lemon zest. OR if you want a lighter drink, add to a Collins glass and top with club soda. I tried it both ways and loved it. It really just depends on what you’re craving in the moment.
