BEES KNEES - HWRLI BWM
The Captain's Wife version of the classic Bees Knees cocktail we have called the Hwrli Bwm - Bumblebee. It's a delicious Prohibition-era cocktail of gin, honey, lemon and orange juice. Initially it was created to mask the dubious quality of the liquor of the day. However its a big winner on a very hot day. As Lavender is the most Bumble Bee friendly flower in the garden we pay tribute to the Hwrli Bwm with a Lavender garnish.
