Description:
The Bees Knees is a Prohibition-era cocktail whose name was slang for something excellent. Honey sweetness sets it apart from more ordinary gin sours. The flavor should be floral, citrusy, and fresh. The honey must be fully incorporated, otherwise it stays on the shaker walls and throws off the balance.
