Bee's Knees, an old-fashioned classic cocktail is refreshingly sweet and tart with a hint of tartness. It's easy to make with just three ingredients: gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup. This is a refreshing summer cocktail that's great for entertaining and sipping.
The Bee's Knees is a Prohibition-era cocktail made with gin, lemon juice, and honey. It is usually shaken well and served with a lemon twist.
The classic gin-sour is still available, but it has honey syrup as an ingredient instead of sugar. It was developed to cover the unsatisfactory quality of a bathtub gin that was popular in speakeasies during Prohibition.
This cocktail has an interesting origin story and was probably influenced by a woman named Bee Jackson who was known for her dancing talents. She was a champion of the Charleston, a dance that was popular in the 1920s and is thought to have originated in New York during this time.
Although bee's knees is a very old-fashioned drink it is a tasty cocktail that can be enjoyed by both men and women. It's made with a good mix of gin (with fresh lemon juice) and honey simple syrup. This makes it a great choice for parties or home creations.
This drink can be made from many types of gins. I recommend trying to find a dry gin that has some juniper flavor, but also a hint of citrus. You can try London dry gins such as Bombay Sapphire or Beefeater, or you can go for more modern options like The Botanist Islay Dry Gin.
The gin should taste smooth and floral, without being too floral or spicy. The addition of honey syrup, lemon juice, and honey syrup makes the gin a great complement. It creates a balanced and delicious drink.
Another option is to add orange juice. This gives the cocktail a deeper and more round taste. To spice up your cocktails with syrups and honey, like rosemary or lavender.
You could even use a variety of honey and syrups to create your own unique Bee's Knees. For example, you could use honey flavored with berries like rosemary, lavender or rosemary.
The Bee's Knees has been around for a long time, and is a staple of Prohibition-era bars. It's an old-fashioned classic that is easy to make and a great cocktail for any occasion.
It's also a good cocktail to have at your home, especially for events that require you to serve a lot of people. This cocktail is quick and easy to make, as it only needs a few ingredients.
Caledonia Spirits Barr Hill Gin by Todd Hardie, a small-batch gin that has been infused with honey, is a great gin choice. This is the perfect Gin for Bee's Knees!
