Starting the weekend with a bee’s knees!

  • 2 oz Roku gin
  • 1 oz Honey syrup (2:1)
  • 1 oz lemon juice

Shaken with ice.

Starting my cocktail journey, and I really like the gin/honey combination. I need to try a 3:1 ratio for the honey syrup next time though!

    I do love Amaretto sour, I usually do them with aquafaba. Haven’t tried with the gin, but it can’t be bad!

      Aquafaba because of an allergy, or ethical choice? Because while aquafaba is an amazing egg substitute in baking, it’s no competitor against egg whites for taste. Plus, it has a shorter shelf life; a box of egg whites in the fridge lasts ages longer than aquafaba once it’s out of the can.

      My wife has an egg allergy; we use aquafaba when we can for baking, but it’s just too hard to keep, and we usually end up using a powdered substitute.

        We make hummus quite regularly, so we have a lot of aquafaba. I feel like it works quite well in drinks, but it would be interesting to try eggs and aquafaba side-by-side to compare!

          Oh. Maybe we should make hummus; we’ve done it before, but it didn’t seem worth the fuss and we don’t eat hummus a lot, so we just don’t.

          But the egg allergy thing is within the past 6 years, and aquafaba really is possibly the best egg substitute for baking, so maybe we’ll try the synergy.

          Thanks for the idea!
