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.

    Love it, thanks! Barr Hill is my pick of gin from the NE USA region.

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

    Cheers!
