The Honey Ryder Cocktail

Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users Last CAll Cocktail and drinks 1 20 minutes Lollygag 3 oz. Caribbean Reserve Rum .5 oz. Bombay Gin 1/2 Fresh lemon- juiced .5 oz. Cointreau One 2.5-3" long lemon peel for garnish (optional-see notes) or a simple twist of lemon. Add all of the ingredients excluding the lemon peel for garnish, into a cocktail shaker with ice. Give it a good shake until your cocktail is fully combined and nice & cold. Strain into a coupe glass and top a decorative lemon peel (see notes) or a simple lemon twist. To create a decorative lemon peel garnish: • Carefully use a paring knife to peel a 2" by 2" piece of the lemon peel. • Flip it peel side down on a cutting board and gently scrape the white part down so that it's thin enough to cut with an exact-o blade. • Using a pen or pencil, draw out your design- geometric, leaves, or any design that is not to intricate on the back side of the peel. • Then using a sharp exact-o knife or paring knife ( I have found that the exact-o is easier and you will be able to cut out smaller pieces with greater ease) cut along your outline of drawing. • Once you have finished your design, use a tiny clothes pin to attach it to your glass of choice, or you can make a small slit in the middle of your design to slide onto your glass. • If you want to create decorative garnishes ahead of time for your party, simply make them and store them in cold water until you are ready to serve. Then dry with a paper towel before garnishing the glass.The Honey Ryder
