Equipment

  • 1 Jigger, shot glass, or set of measuring spoons A Jigger is a fancy bartending tool for measuring
  • 1 Stirring glass and/or a tall drinking glass A stirring glass is a heavy, tall measuring glass with a lip for pouring. You can just mix everything in the same glass you'll be drinking out of.
  • 1 cutting board to cut the lemon You can skip this if you don't want to peel a strip from a fresh lemon and then have to store the lemon (put in a jar/container with a tight lid)
  • 1 small paring knife or channel knife (optional) Not needed if not cutting the strip of lemon peel
  • 1 Juicer You can just squeeze with your hand but I like to use a juicer. Be sure to remove the seeds any any large pieces of pulp you don't want.
  • 1 Long spoon or something for stirring the drink I've used a knife in a pinch. Keep an eye out at estate/yard sales or vintage shops for "ice tea spoons" or " bar/mixing spoons.

Ingredients
  

Drink Assembly

  • 2 oz White Grape Juice Preferably with no added sugar
  • 1/2 oz honey syrup (directions below)
  • 3 - 4 oz ginger ale or club soda (chilled if you prefer -- I do!) Your choice depends on how sweet you want it to be.
  • 1 lemon peel strip (optional, for garnish if you're feeling fancy)

Honey Syrup

  • 1/2 Tblspn Honey (Sue Bee or Local Hive recommended) Make the Honey Syrup first
  • 1/2 Tblspn Very warm water Run the tap til it steams or put water in microwave safe bowl or mug and zap for about 10 seconds

Instructions
 

Make the Honey Syrup

  • Add the honey to your drinking glass or the stirring glass if you're using one.
  • Warm the water and add it to the honey.
  • Stir well. The warm water helps make the honey easier to stir to syrup consistency.
  • If you're using a stirring class, pour the honey into the drinking glass. No need to do this if you mixed the syrup in the same glass you'll drink out of.

Assemble the Drink

  • Measure and add the white grape juice to either the stirring glass or drinking glass.
  • Cut off a think strip of lemon peel. You want the strip to approximately either be the length of the lemon or the width. Check out the video below for a demo on how to do this and up your drink presentation game.
  • Add the honey syrup if it's in a stirring glass.
  • Add the club soda
  • Stir gently using a long spoon
  • Twist the peel if you're adding one.
  • Enjoy!
