Bee’s Kiss Recipe

The bees kiss is a rich, creamy cocktail with just a kiss of honey. It first debuted in trader vics book of food and drink from 1946. Trader vics version produced a very small drink, with just a hint of honey and cream, but we prefer this amped-up recipe we found on the bartending pretty website. Since it has so much heavy cream in it, this is a drink that needs vigorous shaking, to keep it from ending up too flat and heavy in the glass. Trader vic recommended a cuban light rum, but we think an aged rum plays up the honey flavor a bit better your call.
