Honey syrup can be used in your co*cktails in a way similar to simple syrup, adding complexity as well as sweetness. It’s an essential ingredient in a Bee’s Knees, Gold Rush and Brown Derby, among others.
Keep in mind that different varieties of honey, and those harvested at different times of year, will have different strengths and flavor nuances. You may wish to use different types of honey according to the type of co*cktail you’ll be making with it. Milder honeys, such as clover and alfalfa, lend themselves well to brighter co*cktails, while richer and earthier varieties, like buckwheat, are best in dark-spirit drinks. Before making the syrup, you’ll want to taste the honey you’re using and adjust the proportion of honey to water accordingly; milder honeys may be best with a two-to-one ratio of honey to water.
Some people believe that it is a reference to the fact that bees carry pollen in sacks on their knees, and that the expression therefore alludes to this concentrated goodness. Others maintain that the saying is just a corruption of the word 'business'.
The bee's knees co*cktail has unclear origins. It was possibly invented by Frank Meier, an Austrian-born, part Jewish bartender who was the first head bartender at the Ritz in Paris in 1921, when its Cafe Parisian opened its doors. A 1929 news article attributes the co*cktail to Margaret Brown, an American socialite.
According to The Guardian, some believe that the "bee's knees" derives from a shortening of "the be all and the end all of everything" which was shortened to "the B's and E's" and thus to "bee's knees"; while another camp believe it derives from "it's the business".
The Bee's Knees' beginnings were placed in the Prohibition era due to its inclusion of gin and its flapper-influenced name. Along with “the cat's pajamas,” “the flea's eyebrows,” and “the kipper's knickers,” the phrase “the bee's knees” was a popular expression in the 1920's.
What was the first ever co*cktail? Accounts differ, but most experts agree that the first co*cktail was the Sazerac, a blend of whisky, absinthe, bitters and sugar. Created in New Orleans in the mid-1800s, this is one of the first co*cktails recognisable by name and remains a favourite to this day.
A consummate host, Coleman served notable patrons like Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, Mark Twain and comic actor Charles Hawley, for whom she created the now-classic Hanky Panky co*cktail.
Because of this, New Orleans's own Sazerac is widely considered the world's first co*cktail, as it's the oldest known co*cktail that can be recognized by name.
"Early in the book I spoke in disparaging terms of the Bee's Knees. This, however, was because as it originally came out during prohibition days it consisted of equal parts lemon juice, honey, and gin. If made as a variation of the standard Gin Sour, merely substituting honey for the sugar syrup, it is acceptable."
