The Royal Tenenbaums Refresher

This vodka-based drink is a refreshing way to enjoy a Wes Anderson film without the cloying taste of elderflower. To make it, you'll need: - 2 oz vodka - 1 oz fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz honey syrup (equal parts honey and hot water, stirred until dissolved) - 1/2 oz ginger syrup (made by boiling equal parts water and sugar with sliced ginger until reduced and syrupy, then straining out the solids) - 1 dash Angostura bitters - Club soda In a shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, lemon juice, honey syrup, ginger syrup, and bitters. Shake well, then strain into a tall glass filled with ice. Top off with club soda, and garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of fresh thyme. Sip and savor the crisp, clean flavors while enjoying the quirky characters and whimsical cinematography of your favorite Wes Anderson film.
