Sour · Gin
Bee's Knees
Prohibition's honeyed apology.
Gin softened with honey and citrus — born to make rough bathtub gin drinkable, still delicious a century on.
Ingredients
- Dry Gin52.5 ml
- Honey Syrup2 teaspoons
- Fresh Lemon Juice22.5 ml
- Fresh Orange Juice22.5 ml
Garnish
Optionally garnish with a lemon or orange zest.
Method
- 1Stir honey with lemon and orange juices until it dissolves, add gin and shake with ice.
- 2Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
The lesson
Honey won't dissolve in a cold shake — cut it 1:1 with warm water into a syrup first. Prep is what makes 'simple' drinks reliable.
