Bee's Knees Cocktail Recipe
The Bee’s Knees is a classic spring gin cocktail you need to include in your cocktail repertoire. This prohibition-era cocktail is made with gin, tart lemon juice and sweet honey for a perfectly balanced libation.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Gin
- ¾ oz Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
- ½ oz Honey Syrup
Instructions
- For the Honey Syrup: Combine equal parts honey and water in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until the honey dissolves into the water.
- Juice your lemon.
- Combine gin, honey syrup, and lemon juice in your shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass
- Rub lemon peel around the rim of the glass to add extra zest and aromatics if desired.
- Garnish with lemon peel or edible flowers.
- Cheers!
Notes
I usually make a big batch of honey syrup so I have leftovers for future drinks. 1 cup of water and 1 cup of honey will yield enough honey syrup for a party.
Store in a glass syrup dispenser in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
