Here is a riff on a Bee’s Knees featuring rum instead of gin as a base spirit. The aged rum adds a touch more depth to the cocktail in my option versus the brighter gin. Both are equally good but very different. The honey with the aged rum is great for the autumn season. When looking around for versions of this recipe I saw some were using lime and others were using lemon for the juice. Lime is the typical pairing for a rum cocktail while lemon is the juice used in a Bee’s Knees. Take your pic...

In a cocktail shaker add all ingredients with ice and shake until chilled. Double strain into a coupe and garnish with an expressed lemon peel. Enjoy!
Editor's Note
Aged rum replaces gin in this Bee's Knees riff, trading botanical brightness for caramel depth. Honey syrup bridges the gap between the spirit and citrus for a balanced, seasonal sipper.
