Review:

As the name suggests, The Business is a riff on a classic Bee's Knees with lime juice. It's snappier with lime instead of lemon juice.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created by Sasha Petraske at his famous Milk & Honey bar in Manhattan, New York City, USA.

The Business features in Georgette Moger-Petraske's 2016 Sasha Petraske Regarding Cocktails.

The Business
2 oz (60 ml) gin
1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
¾ oz (22.5 ml) Honey syrup
Combine the gin, lime juice, and honey syrup in a cocktail shaker, add 1 large ice cube, and shake vigorously until the drink is sufficiently chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe.
