A light, floral aperitif built on white tea, gin, and bubbles.

White tea honey syrup is doing quieter work than a standard simple syrup would — white tea's low-tannin, floral character comes through instead of getting buried under gin botanicals, which is why this reads as delicate rather than just sweet. Topping with soda rather than shaking it in keeps the bubbles intact through the first few sips.
