A lovely combination of sweet honey and chile… the spicy, more adventurous and wild cousin of the Bee's Knees.

In a cocktail shaker add all ingredients with ice and shake until chilled. Fine strain into a coupe and garnish with a lemon wedge. Enjoy!
Editor's Note
Ancho Reyes adds earthy heat to the classic Bee's Knees template. Honey syrup provides a rich, floral backbone that balances the spice.

What a fantastic and spicy twist on the Bee's Knees! The addition of Ancho Reyes sounds like it adds the perfect amount of smoky heat. Cheers!
