Incorporate a bar spoon of rich simple syrup (2:1 sugar to water) if your honey isn’t sweet enough or to balance the tartness from the lime juice more precisely.
Instead of just shaking with ice, perform a double shake. First, a dry shake (without ice) to emulsify the honey and a wet shake (with ice) to chill and dilute, ensuring a smooth, unified texture.
