Notes
To make this for a crowd of 8, fill a pitcher with ice. Add in 3/4 cup honey syrup, 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 to 5 medium lemons), and 2 cups gin. Stir vigorously with a long cocktail stirring spoon to chill it all really well. Serve immediately in chilled coupe glasses.
If you want to make this ahead of time, stir the ingredients together in an empty pitcher. Place in the fridge to chill for up to 4 hours, then serve in chilled glasses.
