Thirsty? Knew it!
It’s Wednesday, after all, which means only one thing at Under Raidar: WET WEDNESDAY! This week we’re staying wet with classic cocktail, the Bee’s Knees.
Bee’s Knees is reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties, with its name meaning ‘the best' in Prohibition slang. They would say: “this cocktail is the bees knees!“ Since bathtub gin was quite pungent during Prohibition, honey and lemon was a quick solution to masquerade gin’s stinging flavor.
Cheers to another Wet Wednesday from Under Raidar where we insist on keeping you wet!
Wet Wednesday’s ‘Bee’s Knees’ Recipe

You’ll surely find the Bees Knees to be the Cat’s Pajamas.
