How many cocktail competitions are you doing this year? Our guest has challenged herself to do a number you won’t believe! It’s not as if she has nothing else to do, she is busy at one of the most exciting places in London.

Laurie Howells might sound like a Brit, but she don’t let her fool you. She was born and lived in the USA until she was whisked to her new hometown of Bury St. Edmunds. How did she find herself heading up Archive & Myth, one of London’s newest bars? She will have to tell you that.

The cocktail of the week is the Archive & Myth Bee’s Knees:

INGREDIENTS

  • 40ml Gin (they use Renais Gin)
  • 10ml Everleaf Forest
  • 5ml Tio Pepe Fino
  • 25ml Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 20ml Bay Honey Syrup


METHOD

  • First, make the bay honey syrup by bringing water to a boil and infusing bay leaves into it for 10 minutes to steep. Filter them and then whisk together a 3:1 ratio of honey to bay water to make an incredibly tasty and herbaceous honey syrup.
  • Shake all ingredients together with ice
  • Fine strain into a coupe glass.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist.


You’ll find this recipe and all the cocktails of the week at alushlifemanual.com, plus links to most of the ingredients.
