Bee’s Knees

You will need…

50ml Hayman’s London Dry Gin
15ml honey syrup
25ml lemon juice

Steps to make…

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Put all ingredients into cocktail shaker. Bartenders tip – to make a honey syrup just mix honey and boiling water (We like to use 1-part hot water straight out the kettle with 1-part honey). Stir, and leave in the fridge to cool. Alternatively, you can also use a really light-coloured runny honey. Shake with ice. Double strain into a chilled glass. Traditionally served straight up but equally enjoyable served over ice.

Enjoy!
