Bee's Knees
Bee's Knees
The Bee's Knees originated during the American Prohibition era, when honey and citrus were used to mask the taste of poor-quality moonshine. It is made by mixing dry gin, honey syrup, and citrus juice. The name comes from 1920s slang, meaning 'something very good'.
- Flavor
- The Bee's Knees cocktail perfectly blends the sweetness of honey with the freshness of citrus. The rich sweetness of honey balances the acidity of lemon and orange, while the botanical notes of dry gin add depth to the overall flavor.
