BEVERAGE PAIRINGS

I wanted to do a cocktail with this because it’s such a fun dish. I immediately thought of a Bees Knees because gin will balance the radish out and of course there is honey and lemon in the dressing so I thought echoing that in the drink is only smart. Cheers!!

2oz Gin, London dry style (I recommend Brokers)

3/4oz lemon juice

3/4oz honey syrup(mix equal parts honey and water till honey desolves)

Add all ingredients to shaker tin filled with ice. Shake and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a slice of radish.
