Our tips for a successful Bee’s Knees cocktail
It is a rather simple cocktail to make, but to ensure optimal results, we encourage you to opt for qualitative lemon juice and honey. As Melifera is a brand committed to preserving biodiversity and supporting local economy, we advise you to select organic squeezed lemon juice. In a perfect world, you would make your own juice with organic lemons from your favorite marketplace and buy your honey from one of your local beekeepers. Your cocktail’s flavors will only be increased and the pleasure in your mouth will only get better.
