Bee's Knees.....Bzzzzzz

Friday, November 25, 2011

Here's a recipe for a gin drink called The Bee's Kness, yum. I've slightly adapted it for my taste :D

Bee's Knees

1 1/2 ounces gin (I used New Amsterdam)
1 tablespoon honey
2 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

  1. Combine all four ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Before adding the ice, stir well to incorporate the thick honey with the other liquids.
  2. Add ice and shake for 30 seconds.
  3. Strain into a chilled glass and enjoy!

Makes 1 drink.


I've also found a Martha Stewart recipe for:

Ginger Sidecar

  • Sugar
  • 1 orange slice
  • 2 1/4-inch-thick slices peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 one-inch piece orange zest
  • 2 ounces brandy
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • Ice

Directions

Place sugar on a plate. Run orange slice around the rim of a glass; rotate rim in sugar. Muddle ginger in a cocktail shaker. Add orange zest, brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice, maple syrup, and ice; shake. Strain into glass.
