The Bees Knees is a Prohibition-era cocktail made with a few simple ingredients, gin, lemon juice and honey syrup. The honey was used to cover up the smell of the illegal alcohol during the Prohibition.
Recipe:
1 ounce of gin
1 ounce of lemon juice
2 ounces of honey syrup
Ice cubes
Make the honey syrup by stirring together 3 parts hot water with 1 part honey until the honey is dissolved.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of the honey syrup, the gin, lemon juice and ice cubes. Shake well, strain into a cocktail glass and drink up!
