The cocktail of the week is the Archive & Myth Bee’s Knees:

INGREDIENTS

  • 40ml Gin (they use Renais Gin)
  • 10ml Everleaf Forest
  • 5ml Tio Pepe Fino
  • 25ml Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 20ml Bay Honey Syrup


METHOD

  • First, make the bay honey syrup by bringing water to a boil and infusing bay leaves into it for 10 minutes to steep. Filter them and then whisk together a 3:1 ratio of honey to bay water to make an incredibly tasty and herbaceous honey syrup.
  • Shake all ingredients together with ice
  • Fine strain into a coupe glass.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist.
