这是我们的经典coc Mexico-inspired扭曲ktail called the Bee’s Knees, a light and refreshing drink made with gin, lemon, and honey syrup. The Killer Bee replaces the gin with mezcal, a smokier and more aggressive spirit (hence the more aggressive cocktail name). It’s a great way to kick off a meal.
Ingredients
Makes 1 cocktail
Step 1
To make a honey syrup, in a small bowl or jar, combine the honey with 1 1⁄2 ounces water.
Step 2
In a cocktail shaker, combine the mezcal, lemon juice, and 3⁄4 ounce of the honey syrup (save the remaining honey syrup for another cocktail). Fill the shaker three-quarters of the way with ice and shake vigorously for 10 seconds if serving on the rocks or 15 seconds if serving “up.” Strain into an ice-filled double old-fashioned glass or bucket glass, or serve up with no ice.

Back to TopWay too much lemon juice. I knocked it down to 1 ounce and was much better. I also recommend adding a little Ancho Reyes. It mixes well with the mezcal. As the other commenter said, this recipe is missing something. Try 1 ounce lemon juice and a tea spoon of Ancho Reyes/Chili Liqueur

Good but missing something. Perhaps use the honey syrup as a base for a Tajin rimmer?
