Originally created during the prohibition era in America where the bitterness of bathtub gin would be sweetened using honey & lemon. The Bees Knees cocktail formed a more complex flavour palate to using plain sugar. The honey used varies the flavour of the cocktail significantly.
The sweet refreshing flavour of this cocktail goes well with Mediterranean foods, in particular seafood, or a sweet cheeses. In the box we have paired this with a range of lightly flavoured snacks bringing out the citrus and honey flavours of the cocktail.
The flavours of the Silent Pool gin are beautifully complimented by the sweet devon honey in the kit. Garnishing with a slice of lemon and the edible flowers gives a sophisticated summer look to this short cocktail.
