Disco Stu 15,503 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Made a Jazz Age era cocktail the other night that was delicious, it's called The Bee's Knees: 1 shot gin half-shot honey syrup (honey + a bit of water, microwave 10 seconds) half-shot lemon juice shake with ice Very simple, and very strong flavored but I liked the balance of sweet and sour.

You could call it a variation perhaps but the honey really adds a distinct flavor that is completely different from if you just used simple syrup. Plus I generally think of gimlets as using that horrible Roses sweetened lime juice stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big Vodka drinker since Whiskey is better than everything, but it is nice to have a shot or two every once in a while to mix things up. I will probably buy another Skull.

Jay 39,764 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 This past weekend I wanted something different and had a fresh lemon that had no other use, so made a Whiskey Sour. I had never had one before, but it was 2 ounces of bourbon, 3/4 oz simple syrup (that I made right there for the drink), and 3/4 lemon juice (squeezed right there), shaken in a jar with ice until very cold, strained into a fun glass with an ice chunk in it. Supposed to be garnished with an orange slice, but we didn't have that. It was delicious! So the next night I wanted something similar, but had no more lemon, but did have an extra lime! So I went with a Gin Gimlet, which I had also never had before. Very similar recipe, 2 oz gin, 3/4 oz simple syrup (had lots extra from the day before), 3/4 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed). That was great too! Might go for both again this weekend bespinGPT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
