Скачать или смотреть How to Make a Bee's Knees Cocktail 3 Ways

Whether you prefer the classic, the twist, or the showstopper version of the Bee’s Knees, they’re all perfect for anyone in search of a tangy, refreshing cocktail. Back in the days of Prohibition (when this cocktail was invented) the term “Bee’s Knees” was flapper slang for “the best.” So some might say that this is “the best” cocktail. Decide for yourself.

In this video, we’re using Barr Hill Gin to make our Bee’s Knees cocktails, and there’s no better gin for the job since Barr Hill is made with honey, and they use this cocktail to help save actual bees! Read all about that here: https://caledoniaspirits.com/bees-kne...
