Method
- Put the rum and honey together in a short rocks glass and stir with a teaspoon or cocktail stirrer until the honey has dissolved.
- Add 2 large ice cubes and stir gently until they begin to melt and slightly dilute the drink. Dash over a little Angostura bitters (if using) and use a vegetable peeler to cut a wide strip of zest from the lemon, trying not to catch too much of the bitter pith.
- Twist the strip of lemon peel over the drink to release the fragrant oils, then stir into the glass. Serve immediately.
