Saint-Florent Cocktail

I served this without sparkling wine because I drink out of old candle holders since I don't own coupes. It was awesome.

5 min – serves 2

Honey syrup:
1/4 cup clover honey
2 tablespoon hot water in a small jar

Combine 1/4 cup clover honey and 2 tablespoon hot water in a small jar; cover and shake to dissolve honey.

6 tablespoons gin
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons Aperol or Capelletti
1 tablespoon honey syrup
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
Ice
Champagne or sparkling wine
Lime wheel for garnish

Combine 6 tablespoons gin, 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons Aperol or Capelletti, 1 tablespoon honey syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters in a cocktail shaker; fill shaker with ice. Cover and shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into 2 chilled coupe glasses. Top off with Champagne or sparkling wine and garnish each with a lime wheel.
