Bee's Knees
The Bee's Knees is a classic gin cocktail with honey and lemon juice.
Ingredients
- 2 oz gin
- ¾ oz honey simple syrup (see note for recipe)
- ¾ oz freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake well, about 20 seconds.
- Strain into a coupe glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
Notes
To make the honey simple syrup, heat 1 part water to 1 part honey until the honey dissolves into the water. This makes it much easier to incorporate honey into an ice-cold drink. For more information about honey simple syrup, you can read my post about it.
