Bee Girl’s Bee’s Knees

Happ-bee Hour Hive to Table Cocktail Recipe

Bee Girl’s Bee’s Knees

• 2 oz Gin - I prefer Caledonia Spirit’s Barr Hill Gin (if you like a spirit free cocktail, use Seedlip Spice 94 instead of gin)

• .75 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice

• 1 oz Bay Laurel and Raw Honey Syrup*

• 3 Shakes cardamom bitters (I like Scrappy’s)  

• Grapefruit peel

* Mix 2 parts of local, raw honey (find Bee Girl Honey here) with one part warm water and stir until you have a nice, smooth syrup. If you live in Southern Oregon, chances are you are within a few miles of a bay laurel tree! Collect (or purchase from a store) 4 leaves, then give them a smack before adding them to the syrup. Let the leaves steep for a day before using your syrup.

Gather all of your ingredients now, plus a cocktail shaker, jigger, ice, a peeler, and a fancy cocktail glass, and we’ll make this cocktail together to kick off our main event on Saturday, August, 29th at 5pm (PST).
