60 ml hot water
4 oz. lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Directions
Step 1
Prepare the Olive Oil-Washed Gin:

Step 2
Place the mixture in the freezer for 2–3 hours or until the olive oil solidifies. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solidified olive oil. Store the infused gin in a clean, sealed bottle.
Step 3
Prepare the Honey Syrup:
While the olive oil infuses into the gin,combine ENZO'S TABLE Orange Blossom Honey with hot water in a mixing bowl, stiring until honey is fully dissolved. Let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 4
Combine Meyer Lemon Infused Olive Oil-washed gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Stir until well chilled and strain into a chilled glass.
Optional Garnish - Add a lemon twist and a drop of ENZO Organic Meyer Lemon Infused Olive Oil on top for a fragrant finish.
