About Bee Knees
Gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup. Created during Prohibition when honey masked bad gin. The name means the best, from 1920s slang. Honey syrup is simpler than it sounds, just honey and warm water. The floral gin and honey combination is heavenly. Prohibition era cocktail at its finest.
