Bee’s Knees Cocktail

When life gives you lemons… make a cocktail. How about that? My friends and I have been sending each other instructional videos on how to make our favorite cocktails for happy hour.

I’ll never be a gin and tonic girl, but I’ve been enjoying gin-based drinks as the weather warms up. Gin plays nicely with citrus and fresh herbs, so it seems just right for this time of year.

The Bee’s Knees is a classic Prohibition-era cocktail made with gin, lemon and honey. It’s brightly flavored, lightly sweet, and just an overall delightful drink—hence the name.

Enjoy one at home on a nice spring day. It tastes even better on a patio or balcony, if you have one. Cheers!

Ingredients:
  • ½ ounce honey syrup
  • 1 ounce lemon juice (about ½ medium lemon)
  • 2 ounces gin
  • Lemon twist, for garnish
Prep Time:
5 minutes
Total Time:
