The Bee’s Knees
OurHarvest is very proud to be selling Andrew’s Local Honey, a terrific locally produced product. We felt it would be absolutely perfect to use in one of our favorite cocktail recipes: the Bee’s Knees. This drink is very well balanced - the floral notes from the gin balanced with the sweetness of the honey and the tartness of lemon. Be careful - it goes down really easily!
Note: We used the recommended lavender bitters, but if you don’t have them, feel free to leave them out.
