This vintage riff on a Bee's Knees is fresh, clean and citrusy with rich honeyed notes. I've previously maintained this cocktail is better made using blood...
Found this a bit unbalanced towards the citrus sourness side. Remade it with 1/2 oz (15 ml) lemon juice and left the rest the same. A lot more balanced. Great floral tones with the blood orange being the prevalent flavor. Very enjoyable with a tad less lemon juice. A definite "in rotation" cocktail.
This is the reason I love Blood Orange season. I craft this for guests and it is the conversation starter for the evening. Follow the measurements closely and you will have a delicious beautiful drink. I used Honey Syrup instead of pure honey for ease of mixing and it worked great.
