Clapping a basil leaf and tossing it on top of a Bee's Knees is a phenomenal addition.

I'm a newbie in that cocktail theme and trying to do my first cocktails. The Clover Club is absolutely brilliant and one of my favorite so far. Thank you for a whole new world.

Whisky, rum, tequila... YES! And Cognac... All of them please :D

Gin being my favorite spirit, and my interest in cocktails having spiked higher than covid cases, I was excited to see this video in my feed. I've mostly been sipping Corpse Reviver no. 2's so I was glad to branch out. i tried the Bees Knees first and disaster struck as I spilled my shaker all over the floor. About a shot was spared and it was quite tasty. i just made a Gordon's Breakfast and it was fantastic. I had a little speedbump as my wife had turned all of our cucumbers into quick-pickles but seeing as the drink had significant acidity I decided to forge ahead and they worked perfectly. I used Hendrick's to accentuate the cucumber. The only thing I can complain about is not having enough, should have made a double. Clover Club is next and probably an Old Pepper from the whiskey video.

The Gordon's Breakfast is one of my favourite summer cocktails. I usually just opt for lime juice instead of chunks of lime, though, and I kick the worcestershire and hot sauce up a little bit.

Love you mentioned the "Southside"...one of my favorite drinks. When at a bar I have to ask for a "Gin Mojito" bc nobody knows Southside lol

[Greensleeve]

I'm with you on gin: also my favorite cocktail spirit. Gimlet is my go-to party cocktail. Just so easy to mix, everyone gets impressed, and it tastes great (especially after one or two too many and people can't tell it's not overly complex). And the French 75 is my go-to celebratory cocktail. Great drink, somewhat underrated these days I find.

Never tried the Gordon's Breakfast though. Might have to go get some hot sauce...

Some interesting cocktails I was unaware of except the gin gimlet is basically my of my go to drinks for when I get home from work in the evenings. However as a beekeeper the Bee's Knee's is definitely going on my list of gin cocktails.

My favorite part in all these is just watching his facial expressions when he drinks it at the end lol

[xSleyteRx]

I hope the next one is whiskey I would love to see one this with that spirit

A video like this for every spirit would be amazing, thanks Nick.

I had Bees Knees for the first time a couple of days ago in Brighton, MA. It was a random pick and so delicious! The first taste reminded me of my favorite, the Aviation. This Bees Knees was served with a hibiscus flower which I didn't realize was edible. I ordered 2 more Bees Knees and made sure to eat the hibiscus 😋😄

My favorite mod to The Bees Knees is using white rum instead of honey. Or a slightly smoky blended scotch. Lemon and honey syrup is a base for lots of awesome.

[dhawthorne]

Instead of chickpea (garbanzo) brine or egg white, you can also find (or make) something called gomme syrup. It is a simple syrup thickened with gum arabic that can also create a nice foam on top. Like the egg white, it also ads a silky texture to the drink whereas the bean juice only serves to improve the aesthetics.

Just made a bee's knees following this recipe + threw in some sprigs of thyme in the shaker. Absolutely delicious

[kjell-antonskare]

I've used mead to replace the honey in the bee's knees. Works quite well! My favorite is with a homebrewed hibiscus-mead.

I’ve been looking at Gin cocktail recipes on YouTube this week and was surprised you didn’t have a big video. Low and behold you have answered my unasked question. Just in time for my company’s virtual happy hour tonight.
