This creation is a riff on the classic honey-sweetened cocktail that dates back to the 1920s, which was also the Prohibition era in the United States. That makes it the perfect drink to lift this Saturday, December 5th, to celebrate Repeal Day, the anniversary of the Eighteenth Amendment being repealed and our constitutional right to imbibe being reinstated!
If you don’t feel like making your own at home, stop by the distillery this week to pick up an Apple Bee’s Knees cocktail kit, or a classic Bee’s Knees cocktail as one of our ready-to-drink cocktails to go!
Apple-Lavender Bee’s Knees
2 oz Gin No. 6
1 oz Apple Juice
¾ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
¾ oz Lavender-Honey Simple
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe glass or a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with an apple slice, a lemon twist, or both!
