Bee's Knees

If you're looking for a pretty straightforward and sweet gin drink, you've come to the right place. Like a lemon drop in drink-form.

Tools/Glassware Needed

• A coupe glass
• A hand juicer
• A knife
• A shaker

Ingredients:

• 2 fl oz. of your favourite gin. I'm partial to the Spirit of York gin since it's local, but any dry gin'll do. (I've got Ungava gin in the picture up there, and it worked well that time!)
• 1 Small Lemon
• Honey (Maybe even in syrup form if you're fancy)
• Shaking ice cubes

Instructions

1. Slice your lemon in half and juice it into your shaker

2. Add as much honey to your shaker as you'd feel happy eating at once. Aim for like a good spoonful.

3. Add the gin to your shaker.

4. Add ice to your shaker.

5. Shake it up till cold and the honey has hopefully well mixed/dissolved.

6. Strain and pour into a coupe glass.

7. Garnish with a lemon ribbon if you're fancy.

8. Enjoy responsibly!

Tweaks

Pretty easy to adjust this one. You can play with the honey and lemon levels to match your desired sweet/tartness preferences. Experiment!
