In the first part of our Valentine’s Day Series we collaborated with the guys from the El Dorado Cocktail Lounge and the girls from Joielala Photographie to bring you a swanky cocktail that’s sure to impress your date — whether it’s your best friend or your lover. Stay tuned all week for the complete guide to a cozy evening at home.
 

 


 

 
The Traditional Bee’s Knees is a cocktail from the early 1900s. To make two cocktails, you will need the following:

2 Cocktail Shakers
1.5 Ounces of Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice
1.5 Ounces of Honey Syrup (3 parts honey, 1 part water)
4 Ounces of Medium Bodied Gin (preferably Plymouth Gin but Beefeaters is an acceptable substitute)
2 Egg Whites
Ice Cubes
Lemon Zest

In your first cocktail shaker, add the following ingredients:
1.5 Ounces of Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice

 

1.5 Ounces of Honey Syrup

 

4 Ounces of Gin

 
In a separate tin, add the whites of two eggs and give it a good shake (this is making a froth!)

 
Combine the contents of both tins, shake and pour over ice.

 
Voila!
