M5 Raspberry Punch

2 oz Gin (raspberry-infused)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain in a rock glass (without ice). Top with soda water if needed. Garnish with a half of lime slice (optional too).

Notes

For raspberry-infused gin add two handfuls of fresh ripe raspberries to a half bottle of gin. Let it sit for ten days then strain and use.
Honey syrup is a mix of equal parts of honey and water.

Named after Russian state highway from Moscow to Ural (M5), the road I travel so many times.

  • With Citadelle gin, it’s very close to what they serve at Anvil. I don’t have habanero syrup so I use more Bittermens. Cutting back the simple syrup to 1/4 oz and the lime rind to 1/4 lime works well for our tastes. — ★★★★★

I'm inclined to think that the "1.5 mint leaves" is a typo. 2-3 should be fine.
