Bee's Knees
Get a wiggle on and head on down to the gin mill if this sounds like your kind of cocktail. First recorded in 1934 by William Boothby, this particular brand of giggle water is sure to please even the toughest of crowds and quench the most insatiable of thirsts. One of the niftiest things about summer is high-quality local honey, and the Bee's Knees is the perfect way to take advantage. If you're open to experimentation, try using different types of honey from different places. This can have a profound effect on the taste of this cocktail even for those who don't boast a well-trained palate. All in all, this stuff is the cat's meow.
