History

Honeyed, floral notes with a cleansing bitterness.

Luke Hanson created this drink in 2017 at Dr Inks Curiosities in Exeter, England. Hanson states that his drink is "a riff on a riff... The Bee's Knees inspired a drink The Bee's Knickers which was on our original and opening menu here at Dr Inks. For our first birthday, we were asked to reinvent them once again and this beauty came to life."
