Better With Bourbon? Bee's Knees vs. Gold Rush

Today we’ll be making two cocktails: the Bee’s Knees and the Gold Rush. The Bee’s Knees is a prohibition era cocktail, believed to have been made at the Hotel Ritz Paris, with the Gold Rush created at Milk & Honey in the early 2000s. These are both excellent, 3 ingredient cocktails featuring identical specs except for the Bee’s Knees is made with Gin, and the Gold Rush is made with bourbon, giving the latter a more golden, honeyed look.

Both are great. I also love using a nice spicy rye.

@@CoachVinoLLC I can see that being a hit! I saw a version recently that adds some fernet branca and I’ve gotta try it

Great and seasonal for me. Gin during spring, gold rush during fall.

@@stephane.foisy.186 I hear that, the gin is more refreshing and the bourbon is warming!
