Lavender bee's knees

3 months ago by MaybeSushi to c/cocktails

  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz honey syrup
  • 1/2 oz lavender syrup

Shake with ice and serve. Would look pretty nice with a piece of lavender on top, if I had planned this better ^^

A more floral variation of the bee's knees, the lavender smell is great. It could be interesting to try with elderflower or maybe violet liquor, now that spring is here!

is the honey syrup just honey and water cooked a little, like simple syrup?

I used 3 parts honey to 1 part water. Just enough water to be able to pour the honey easily. It might depend on the honey though!

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
