Hello, welcome back to the cocktail vlog. Today, I want to show you how to make a Bees Knees. I can’t believe I haven’t done this one before. Super simple, old, classic cocktail from the Prohibition Era. I believe it was written in 1934’s “World Drinks and How to Mix Them”.A three-ingredient cocktail, very, very simple. I might put a playlist together with three-ingredient cocktails. If I do, I’ll link to it in the description below just so you can make some really drinks.So this one is gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup. So, the honey syrup here is 3 to 1, so 3 parts honey to 1 part water. Reason for doing so is, if you add honey… if you chill it, if you add it onto the ice, it just gets really hard and sticky, and it doesn’t actually mix easily through the drink. But if you add that little bit of dilution, it works perfectly.And as far as the gin goes, I use a typical London dry style. This is an Australian take on a London dry. It’s got native botanicals from Australia so it’s got lemon myrtle and wattleseed.Start off with the gin and pour 2 ounces, so 16 mills. Add that straight in. Nice and simple. Next two ingredients, three-quarters of an ounce, 22.5 mills. Likewise for the honey syrup. Super quick cocktail. Great if you’re entertaining at home. Then for the cocktail, shake with ice, and give it a good shake. And strain into your glass. Use a coupe martini glass. In my case, a Nick and Nora, a nice, elegant stemmed glass. You can garnish with a twist of lemon. It’s a simple cocktail. I’m going to keep it real simple and serve it like this.So there you have a Bees Knees. Cheers.Such a beautiful, simple cocktail. Citrusy, honey. The gin’s not overpowering. Works really well. Get some of that dryness from the gin.Thanks for watching. Make sure you like and subscribe, and I’ll see you soon for another cocktail video. Cheers.
