• 15 ml Crème de cacao (dark)
• 10 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 8 ml Honey syrup (1:1 ratio)

Method

1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes.
2. Shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds until well-chilled.
3. Fine strain through a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer into the prepared glass.
4. Gently express the oils from an orange twist over the surface.
