How to Make a Bee’s Knees Cocktail

The Bees Knees cocktail is a classic cocktail made with gin, honey, and lemon juice. And, it’s got all the right moves. The flavour profile of this classic is complex – with the gin providing a juniper-forward base, the honey adding a subtle sweetness, and the lemon providing a bright, citrusy tang. The combination of these ingredients results in a refreshing and balanced drink that is both sweet and sour.
