Bees Knees Cocktail

The Bees Knees cocktail lives up to its name with warm honey flavors and a beautiful golden color.

A traditional summer cocktail, our Bees Knees recipe includes gin, lemon juice, and a honey simple syrup. Since we wanted our Bees Knees to be all about the honey, we add a dab of honey into the cocktail shaker to help bring the honey’s rich, complex flavors to life.

We also include some egg white to smooth everything out and add a little froth. This is a great cocktail to serve in the summer or fall with fresh grilled vegetables and salads.
