The Happiest Hour

2ounces of vodka

1ounces fig jam

1ounce Honey Simple Syrup (See below)2ounce cranberry juice

1/2ounce lime juice

St. Steve’s Ginger Soda

Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker, excluding the St. St. Steve’s Ginger Soda. Shake over ice, strain, and top with ginger soda.

Honey Simple Syrup 

In a small saucepan, combine the honey and water over low heat. Use a whisk to slowly stir the honey until it has dissolved into the water. Can be made to taste. I prefer 1 part honey 3 parts water. Keep refrigerated for up to a month.
