Lavender Bees Knees Gin Cocktail Recipe

Bees Knees Lavender-Infused Honey Gin Cocktail

Pop the champaign! It’s time to celebrate our five-year anniversary. Or perhaps we should toast with a honey-inspired cocktail. In honor of Five for the Hive, Jeremy Hood, a mixologist also known as The Urban Gastronome, has developed a specialty cocktail recipe featuring our own lavender-infused honey.

Lavender Bees Knees

Prep time
5mins
Cook time
Total time
5mins

Ingredients

1.5 oz HWY 9 Gin from H&H Distillery

0.5 oz Asheville Bee Charmer Lavender-Infused Honey

0.75 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Dry shake ingredients well to dissolve the honey in the mix and to create a natural froth. Add 3 cubes of ice for a moderate shake to cool it down.

Serve in a classic coupe glass.

Garnish with lavender petals.

Overspray homemade lavender tincture for an extra punch of floral notes!

We asked Jeremy what he likes about working with honey: 

It’s nice to have a connection with locally sourced ingredients when creating craft cocktails. Asheville Bee Charmer has so much variety, it makes it fun! Honey is a staple of my inventory and I have used it for several events. The gin I chose from H&H Distillery/Cultivated Cocktails also brings another locally sourced product to the table, as well as the lavender I use from the WNC Farmer’s Market.

Honey, Please.
