Shaken or StirCrazy: My Take Anna Bee’s Knees
I have officially voted today the nicest day of the year so far! I needed some warmth after all this rainy windy weather. Today was a busy work day so I decided to wind down by pretending I was on the rooftop at Columbia Room and making a variation of one of my favorite drinks - My take Anna Bee’s Knees. The Bee’s Knees is a classic Prohibition cocktail. Even the name evokes the era. You can hear a flapper ordering it up with a Continental accent: “I’ll take a Bee’s Knees, Mack. And step on it before the bulls show up.” I love it because it’s simple & refreshing. If you don’t like gin, it tastes good with vodka, but seriously, give gin a chance :)
Ingredients:
Lemon Juice
Honey Syrup (I mixed boiling water, with half a teaspoon of honey)
Lemons
Fizzy Water (optional)
I also added the Morris Kitchen Citrus Agave Mixer
Mix together and serve over ice or up!
Watch this to see how I make it!
Cheers!
Tag me in your creations and let’s virtually enjoy a drink together!
