SERVINGS: 1

INGREDIENTS:

2 ounces L’etoile du Nord vodka (from a distillery in Minnesota)

Make honey simple syrup in advance and chill. Combine one cup water and one cup of honey in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until honey dissolves, stirring occasionally. When the honey has dissolved, remove from heat and let cool before using.

To chill a coupe or martini glass, fill to the top with ice and water. In a shaker, combine all ingredients listed with ice and shake vigorously. Empty the glass full of ice, then strain mixture into the chilled glass.
