A delicious soup may be made using leftover chicken breasts and wild rice meal that has been boxed. nice if decorated with a nice sprig of parsley and some finely chopped carrots sprinkled on top.

Total Time: 5 mins
Servings: 1
Yield: 1 cocktail

Ingredients

  1. 2 fluid ounces gin
  2. ½ fluid ounce lemon juice
  3. ¾ fluid ounce honey syrup
  4. 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Combine gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add ice, cover and shake until chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  2. May substitute honey for honey syrup, though the honey will often form a ball in the middle of the shaker. Avoid this by combining three parts honey to one part hot water, stirring until completely mixed, then continuing with recipe.

We taste tested several 1920’s era cocktails for a party and this was included. We did not care for it.

great old school cocktail. If you make a pitcher of this classic, I suggest throwing a few sprigs of thyme for an herbaceous twist

I double everything except the gin, was great and refreshing!

LOVE Bee’s Knees! I had it in a 1920s throwback bar in Boston and fell in love. Thanks for the recipe! It tasted exactly right! The honey syrup is easy to make, make sure you mix it up until the honey dissolves. I made the mistake of thinking I could just squeeze honey in with the gin, but it made a goopy ball. Delicious recipe!
