When it comes to cocktails, it's hard to get easier than the Bee's Knees. Made with nothing more than gin, lemon, and honey, it's simple to recall no matter how busy the party gets. Here we add in fresh sage leaves for a delicious sage cocktail.
Make The Honey Syrup: For the syrup, bring equal parts honey and water to a simmer in a small saucepan until honey dissolves. Let cool to room temperature before using.
Make The Bee's Knees Cocktail: Combine gin, lemon juice, syrup, and 2 sage leaves in a cocktail shaker and stir to dissolve honey syrup. Fill shaker halfway with ice and shake until thoroughly chilled, about 10 seconds.
Strain And Serve: Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Smack the remaining sage leaf between your hands over the glass, drop into the drink and serve.
