Change measure

The Bee's Knees is a fun and very easy cocktail from the Prohibition era. Some stories claim that the drink was concocted because the honey masked the odour of the alcohol. A London dry gin will create a completely different profile than one of the new American-style gins, and whatever botanicals are more apparent in the gin you choose will be accented by the honey syrup and lemon.

Method

Pour all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake well then strain into a chilled cocktail glass and serve.
