1 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Rich demerara syrup 2:1

Notes

This was inspired by the “European Union” created by Alex Day, which you can find in the Cocktail CODEX. However, that drink still includes Gin - definitely not 2024 EU.

For a balanced EU drink, I included two spirits and one amaro from the three largest economies in the union, enhanced by the tonic water.
Salut!
