Aside from being just a cool idiom that ought to make a comeback, The Bee's Knees is also a most excellent cocktail. A recipe, courtesy of the cool kids over at Hangar One.
The Bee Keeper
(AKA The Bee's Knees)
- 2 oz. Hangar One Buddha's Hand Vodka
- 1 oz. Aqua Perfecta Pear Eau de Vie
- 1/2 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 oz. honey simple syrup (equal parts honey and water)
Shake over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Somewhere, I've got a clipping from a magazine with a lavender version of The Bee's Knees. I'll see if I can dig it up.
In other Hangar One news, they've just released their Fraser River raspberry vodka. It only comes around once a year, and it's definitely worth seeking out. To quote the great Ferris Bueller, "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." Lucky for you, luxuries like this only cost about 30 bucks or so.
