A Honey Bee & Bee’s Knees

It’s hot.

No, really, it’s HOT!  So, it’s time for my summer go-to drink.  What do you want in a summer cocktail?  I want ice and lots of it.  Also, it must be fresh, tart, barely sweet, and filled to the brim with a shocking amount of gin.  That a must-have to seal the deal.

It’s the bee’s knees.

Bee’s Knees

4 ounces your favorite floral gin

Cheers!
