Bee's Knees
A Prohibition-era classic with a name as charming as its flavor, the Bee’s Knees takes a simple gin sour and elevates it with honey. Made with gin, fresh lemon juice, and honey syrup, this cocktail is smooth, floral, and just the right amount of sweet. Originally crafted to mask the harshness of bathtub gin, it has since become a beloved classic for its bright, refreshing balance. Simple, elegant, and downright delightful—just like its name suggests.
