Bee's Knees

This tremendous and tasty classic cocktail dates back to Prohibition. The slang term "the best" may be outdated for some, but the drink is always welcome. This recipe was widely believed to have been created to mask the harsh flavors of substandard and perhaps illicit Gin. You can do what we do and use excellent London Dry Gin, the Bee's Knees.

Ingredients

2 oz. Gin
3/4 oz. Lemon juice
3/4 oz. Honey syrup

Occasion

This lovely classic cocktail can be enjoyed anytime but it's perfect in spring when the bees are buzzing. It's absolutely refreshing and the tart lemon and sweet, rich honey are perfect mates.

Method

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with a scoop of ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon peel.

Variations

There are variations to be found but I don't recommend veering far from the plan. Besides, your choice of Gin will make all the difference in the world.
