You don’t need a complicated cocktail to have a delicious one. A Bee’s Knees cocktail is made with just three ingredients – gin, honey and lemon – but together they create a magical drink. However, with our take in this recipe, there’s a little twist that allows you to experience the cocktail through flavour tripping by eliminating the use of honey altogether and pairing miracle berries with it. Since the main ingredient would then be just the lemon, its sour nature will make it best to be paired with richberry.
INGREDIENTS
· 2 ounces gin
· 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
· Ice
· Lavender bitters (optional)
· Lemon peel, for garnish
· 1-ounce honey syrup
METHOD
Make the drink: Add the gin and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake for about 30 seconds, or until a frost forms on the shaker. Put a single large ice cube into a cocktail or old fashioned glass. Strain drink into a glass and garnish with lemon peel. Enjoy!
Consume Miracle Berry: Just before drinking, chew 1 or more freeze-dried miracle berry (this can also be done during the preparation of ingredients). Ensure to remove pits to avoid a bitter taste.
Fact: The active ingredient miraculin from miracle berry will turn sour foods such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, non-fat yoghurt and other citrus food to taste sweet without adding sugar. We recommend two halves or 2 servings for maximum effectiveness. Make sure to follow instructions from the back of the packaging.
