Bee's Knees Cocktail
A refreshing cocktail drink with gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice and a honey simple syrup. A perfect cocktail to sip on during a warm summer day.
Equipment
- 1 Shaker
- 1 Manual Juicer
Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce honey simple syrup
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Place a coupe glass into the freezer to chill, or fill glass with ice to keep cold.
- Using a jigger, measure 1 ounce of honey simple syrup and add to a cocktail shaker.
- Measure 2 ounces of gin and add to cocktail shaker.
- Measure 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice. If you're lucky and have a really soft lemon, you can squeeze lemon by hand. I like to use this manual citrus juicer by barfly. Makes it a whole lot easier.
- Fill cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add lid and give it a good 25-30 second shake, until shaker becomes frosted on the outside. That is a good sign your cocktail is ready.
- Remove coupe glass from freezer, or discard ice that was placed in glass. Strain into your cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist!
