This cocktail is a favorite in our house. We steep whatever edible flowers are in season with the syrup to make this drink hyper seasonal and unique to whatever is in bloom! This time we had some very early lavender blossoms. If you have nothing to add to your honey syrup, even the original Bee’s Knees is a winner!
Enjoy and make sure you post your creative 603 Bee’s Knees to our social media! We’d love to see what you make!

- 2 oz Lemon Juice
- Ice for shaking
Honey Syrup + Florals Recipe

Directions
603 Bee's Knees
Pour all ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker (or a mason jar!) and shake until the outside of the shaker begins to frost.
Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon wheel or whatever flower you added to your syrup!
Honey Syrup
To make the honey syrup, combine equal parts honey and hot water with a tablespoon of flower petals or blossoms.
Let the flowers steep for 5 minutes in the syrup and then strain!
Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
