Bees Knees Recipe

Prepare the Honey Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine equal parts of honey and hot water. Stir until the honey is dissolved, then let it cool. For this recipe, you will need about 3 tablespoons of honey syrup.

Juice the Lemon

Squeeze fresh lemons to extract 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice. Make sure to strain out any seeds or pulp.

Combine Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add the Aviation Gin, honey syrup, and fresh lemon juice.

Shake with Ice

Add ice cubes to the cocktail shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

Strain into Glass

Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass to remove any ice shards.

Garnish

Use a lemon twist as a garnish by twisting the peel over the cocktail to release its oils, then place it on the rim of the glass.
