  1. You'll want to prep your French Press before mixing the cocktail. Place all dried French Press Infusion ingredients into your French Press

Cocktail Base

  1. In a Mixing Glass, add Honey and Boiled Water and give this a stir to break down the honey, before adding the rest of the ingredients.

  2. Add the rest of the spirits, fill the mixing glass 2/3 of the way with ice and stir well (at least 30 seconds)

  3. Strain into French Press with the infusions already inside. Cover and leave in the fridge for 5 minutes before serving.

  4. When creating the cocktail, simply pour over 1 large ice cube in a small rocks glass. Or you could have this served straight up in a martini/coupe glass.
