Bee's Knees

Gin, honey, lemon. A Prohibition-era trick to mask bad bathtub gin. With good gin, it's one of the great citrus cocktails.

Ingredients

• London Dry Gin2 ounces
• Honey Syrup (1:1)¾ ounce
• Fresh Lemon Juice¾ ounce
• Lemon Twist1 each

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake until well-chilled. Double-strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

Honey syrup (1:1 honey to warm water), not straight honey. Wildflower or orange blossom honey works beautifully.
