Bees Knees Birthday!


My husband and I went out to celebrate my birthday the other night and I ordered this cocktail, it was amazing!  Frankly, I was very surprised that no one asked to see my I.D.!!  LOL!!!  

I'm not one to usually order "fancy" drinks, but I have to tell you, this cocktail was delicious.  If you don't like alcohol, you could omit the vodka, the drink was that flavorful!  

 The waitress was kind enough to give me the recipe!


Ingredients
1 teaspoon of clover honey
1 1/5 ounces of Stoli's honey Or "stikie" vodka
1/4 cup of lemonade
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
Slice of lemon with "honey bee" decoration


Directions
Combine all ingredients and shake well over ice
Pour into your favorite martini glass
Relax & Enjoy!

    Belated Happy Birthday to you, Mary!
    That cocktail looks lovely - I do like my Vodka-based cocktails but don't think I've ever tried one with honey. The last one I had was with rhubarb syrup (home-made by my mum from rhubarb from my parents' garden), very refreshing!
