THE FOUR WINDS

St. Martin’s Press

The Bees Knees

Originally, the Bee’s Knees drink was created to mask the taste of bathtub gin made during Prohibition.

Ingredients:

2 oz gin

3/4 oz Honey syrup (To make, use equal parts honey and water. Warm the two in the microwave or the stovetop until they whisk nicely together; otherwise the honey will clump in the shaker). Leftover honey simple syrup keeps in the fridge for more than a week.

3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

Twist of lemon

Preparation

Shake all ingredients together in shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass, add a twist of lemon, and serve. Enjoy![/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][image_hover target=”_blank” hover_image=”22224″ link=”https://www.edelweiss.plus/#keywordSearch&q=9780802128812&page=1″ image=”22304″][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]
