We were introduced to Ungava Gin this summer and love it! Ungava Gin is Canadian and crafted from native Canadian botanicals that give it it’s signature yellow colour. Ungava Gin has the most delicious bees knees cocktail recipe on their website, we used that recipe and added tonic water for extra fizz. Delicious!
This bees knees cocktail is both light and refreshing. You can save the honey syrup for up to one month in the fridge.
Bees don’t have knees, so where does the saying come from?

Ingredients
2 oz. Ungava Gin
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice

To make cocktail, add ice to a glass. Add gin, lemon juice, honey syrup and top with tonic water. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
