Drink Of The Week: Bee's Knees

Welcome back to Drink With Greg!

After immersing ourselves in the world of golf at the Master, we're thrilled to bring you another delectable concoction to tantalize your taste buds. This week, we're diving into the vibrant history of cocktail culture with a classic: the Bee's Knees.

Originating from the 1930s, during the Prohibition era, this timeless libation was crafted by none other than Frank Meier, a renowned bartender in Paris. Inspired by the buzzing energy of the Jazz Age, the Bee's Knees exudes sophistication with its harmonious blend of gin, honey, and lemon.

Join us as we rediscover the charm of this vintage cocktail and embark on a journey through its flavorful past.
