Bee's Knees Cocktail

Bee's Knees Cocktail

YIELD: Makes 1 drink

INGREDIENTS

1 T - honey

1/2 jigger - gin

1 T - freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 T - freshly squeezed orange juice

DIRECTIONS

Combine all the ingredients and shake well with ice. Strain into a glass.

TIP

When made as directed, the honey often forms into a giant ball in the middle of the shaker. To avoid this, combine three parts honey to one part hot water and stir together until completely mixed, then continue with the recipe.

Note: The orange juice is optional. Bars in Los Angeles and New York that serve the Bee's Knees omit it.
