FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do you properly shake the ingredients for a Bee's Kiss?

To properly shake a Bee's Kiss, combine the honey, vodka, and cream in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and the honey is fully integrated, usually about 15 to 20 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass and top up with lemonade. This technique ensures a smooth texture and a well-blended drink.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I use a different type of alcohol in place of vodka in the Bee's Kiss?

Yes, you can substitute the vodka in a Bee's Kiss with other spirits while maintaining the cocktail's integrity. A good alternative is white rum, which will add a slightly sweeter, more rounded flavor to the cocktail. The key is to maintain the 30ml measurement to keep the alcohol content balanced.

Dietary considerations icon

Is the Bee's Kiss suitable for those on a dairy-free diet?

As is, the Bee's Kiss is not suitable for a dairy-free diet due to the inclusion of cream. However, you can easily modify it by using a dairy-free cream substitute, such as coconut cream or almond milk creamer, to cater to dairy-free requirements without significantly altering the taste.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of the Bee's Kiss compare to other classic cocktails?

With an alcohol content of 8%, the Bee's Kiss is on the lower end of the spectrum compared to many classic cocktails. For example, a Margarita typically has an alcohol content around 13-15%, while a Martini might range from 15-18%. This makes the Bee's Kiss a lighter option, ideal for those seeking a milder cocktail.
