Our favourite summer cocktail

The Bee's Knees

What better way to unwind at the end of a busy week than with a fresh and zingy lemon-based cocktail? 

Our Bee's Knees recipe can be enjoyed both with or without alcohol and is a refreshing way to welcome in another weekend! It pairs perfectly with our Portofino collection to transport you to the Amalfi Coast.

Ingredients

(Serves one)

25ml Lemon Juice - we like to use freshly squeezed lemons, but bottled juice will do just fine!

50ml dry gin - Use a 0% gin for a non-alcoholic version

Ice

2tsp honey

Method

1. In a glass, mix the honey with 1 tsp of just-boiled water. Stir until the honey is nicely thinned. Don't worry about the heat - the ice will deal with that later on!
2. Into a cocktail shaker pour the lemon juice, gin and honey syrup. Top up with a good handful of ice. If you don't want the cocktail to be too strong, add a little more ice!
3. Cover the shaker and shake for a minute. The shaker should be cold to the touch by the time it is ready.
4. Pour into a tumbler and finish with twist of lemon peel. 
5. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
