Bee's Knees

Cultural Context

The Bee's Knees cocktail emerged during the Prohibition era in the United States, where it was created to mask the taste of poor-quality gin with honey and lemon. Its name is a playful expression from the 1920s, indicating something outstanding or excellent. Today, it remains a beloved classic, celebrated for its refreshing balance of sweet and tart flavors, and has seen a resurgence in craft cocktail bars around the world.
