History

A riff on a classic Bee's Knees, this cocktail uses lime juice for a snappier taste.

Sasha Petraske devised this drink at his well-known Manhattan establishment, Milk & Honey, in New York City, USA. This recipe for The Business appears in Georgette Moger-Petraske's 2016 book, Sasha Petraske Regarding Cocktails. The Business 2 oz (60 ml) gin 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice ¾ oz (22.5 ml) Honey syrup Combine the gin, lime juice, and honey syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add one large ice cube, then shake hard until the mixture is well-chilled. Strain the contents into a chilled coupe glass.
