Bee's knees is an old-fashioned classic cocktail that is refreshing and sweet with a little bit of tartness. It requires just three ingredients: gin (or lemon juice) and honey syrup. This is a refreshing summer cocktail that's great for entertaining and sipping.
The Bee's Knees cocktail is a Prohibition-era drink made with gin lemon juice and honey. It is usually mixed with lemon juice and honey, then served cold with a lemon twist.
It is a classic, sweet gin sour but is richer due to the honey syrup. It was developed to cover the unsatisfactory quality of a bathtub gin that was popular in speakeasies during Prohibition.
The interesting history of this cocktail is fascinating. It was likely influenced by Bee Jackson, a woman known for her dancing skills. She was a champion Charleston, a dance that was very popular in the 1920s. The Charleston is believed to have originated in New York.
Bee's knees, although it is an old-fashioned drink, is still a delicious cocktail that can be enjoyed both by 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 cocktail can be made with many different 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 be smooth and floral, but not overly floral or spicy. The honey syrup and lemon zest are wonderful additions to the Gin, making it a delicious and well-balanced beverage.
Adding a splash of orange juice to the mix is another great option, as it gives it a bit more depth and roundness. You can also add syrups or honey flavored to your cocktails such as rosemary and lavender.
To create your Bee's Knees you can use any combination of syrups and honey. You can make your own honey with lavender, rosemary, or any other berry-flavored honey.
The Bee's Knees has been around for a long time, and is a staple of Prohibition-era bars. It's a timeless classic and great 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. You can prepare it in advance and only require a few items.
Caledonia Spirits' Barr Hill Gin from Todd Hardie is a good choice for this recipe. It is small-batch and honey-infused. This is the ideal gin to make Bee's Knees.
