HONEY JASMINE LEMONADE

I first made this cocktail for a fabulous friends fabulous party around Christmas time. She invited everyone to bring a cocktail and the accompanying recipe, she put out little bites and small sampler cups, and it was such a great blend of personalities, drinks, people and food.
The tea, honey and fresh juices seemed like the perfect combination to ward off the end of winter illness, but I have found it is also an excellent mix for the summer sense of well being.

HONEY JASMINE LEMONADE

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup hot water
3 cups freshly brewed jasmine tea
1 cup gin
3/4 cup Limoncello
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh orange juice

Stir honey and water in a bowl until honey dissolves. Combine honey mixture, jasmine tea, gin, Limoncello, and juices in a large pitcher and stir to blend.
Serve over ice.
Enjoy!
