Bees Knees cocktail in a Coupe Glass

Bees Knees

Gin Cocktail Alcoholic

🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass

Honey syrup sweetens gin here instead of plain sugar, brightened with both lemon and orange juice for a rounder citrus profile. Honey was originally used partly to mask the rough edges of bathtub gin during Prohibition, but it's stuck around because it genuinely pairs beautifully with juniper. Bright, floral, and easy-drinking, it's one of the most enduring Prohibition-era classics still on menus today. Shaken hard and served up, a great starting point for gin sours.
