Bee's Knees
During Prohibition, people commonly used fresh lemon and honey to mask the ugly flavors present in bathtub gin. When made with today’s stuff, it’s an even sweeter way to catch a buzz. This formalized version made its first appearance in the early 1930s in Bill Boothby’s World Drinks & How to Mix Them and Frank Meir’s The Artistry of Mixing Drinks.

Mix It Up!
