Cocktail Hour: Bee's Knees Martini

I love gin. I love honey. And I love a Bee's Knees Martini.

If you're feeling a bit peaky, it also has all the benefits of a home made lemon and honey cough syrup with the added medicinal properties of gin to perk you up.


Bee's Knees Martini

You'll need:

  • 2 shots gin
  • 3 tsp runny honey
  • 1 shot freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 shot freshly squeezed orange juice
  • Twist of orange zest
Shake it!
  • Stir together the honey and gin in a shaker so the honey dissolves completely.
  • Add the lemon and orange juice.
  • Shake with ice.
  • Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a twist of orange zest.
