Last thing I made (after stating I hate gin) was a Beez Kneez (not exactly this recipe but similar):
50ml Gin (GF recommends Bathtub Gin or Tanqueray No.TEN)
2 teaspoons honey
20ml fresh lemon juice
20ml fresh orange juice
(Adapted from Diffordsguide Cocktails, The Bartender’s Bible. 10th Edition).
Add gin and honey to a shaker and stir until the honey dissolves. Add the lemon and orange juice and top up with ice. Shake well. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with an orange zest twist. As an alternative, try pouring the cocktail on the rocks – it’s not quite the same but it’s perfect for the occasions where either you (or a guest) is wants a touch more dilution as the ice helps break up the sweetness and allows the cocktail to loosen up a little.
