The Bee's Knees Cocktail is a classic drink that originated during the Prohibition era in the United States. It typically consists of three main ingredients: gin, fresh lemon juice, and honey. The combination of these elements creates a refreshing and slightly sweet beverage that highlights the botanical flavors of the gin. To prepare a Bee's Knees, the ingredients are shaken with ice and then strained into a chilled glass. This cocktail is often garnished with a lemon twist or a slice, enhancing its visual appeal. The name "Bee's Knees" is a slang term from the 1920s, meaning something excellent or outstanding.
