I enjoy collaborating with local distillers and producers to mix up bespoke versions of classic drinks. Tooday its our own take on the popular Bees Knees which is a sweet zesty easy drinking cocktail. Normally made with a honey syrup we have replaced honey with honeybush herbal tea blend and chocola simple syrup which when combined delivers the characteristic honey notes with pops of floral, fruity and spicy to round out the drink.
Infusing herbal tea into dry gin gin is a fabulous way to deliver more subtle honey flavours with refreshing notes of jasmine papaya and herbacious honey. Tea time has never tasted better.
