The ‘Bee Sting’ Cocktail closely resembles a ‘Bees Knees’ Cocktail, however it also contains some form of spice to give it that extra kick! During the Prohibition Era, spirits such as gin and whisky were commonly flavoured with honey and lemon juice to mask their strong and often unpleasant taste, hence essentially making them more palatable and drinkable.

With the sensational combination of both sweetness and spice, this cocktail is the perfect addition to a summer bbq and will undoubtedly leave your guests buzzing for more!
