How to make a Bees Knees
The Bee's Knees cocktail recipe was invented out of necessity, hiding the poor quality homemade, bathtub cut gin that was prevalent during the prohibition-era.
Nowadays, good quality gin is in abundance and this is a delicious, citrusy and honeyed gin cocktail.
Ingredients
- 60 mL Gin 2 oz
- 15 mL Fresh Lemon Juice ½ oz
- 15 mL Honey Syrup 1:1 (½ oz)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in your cocktail shaker
- Shake with ice
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass
- Garnish with a twist of lemon or wheel

One question: is the honey syrup ratio a typo? Assuming 3:1 per your own recipe…
Cheers!
