Bee’s Knees
A citrusy and sweet sour built around gin, with the classic proportions and service that make the Bee’s Knees endure.
“Sweetheart, serve the Bee’s Knees cold enough to silence anyone with an unnecessary opinion.”
WHY THIS DRINK WORKS
The Bee’s Knees works because gin, lemon juice, honey syrup meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method shaken, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
