Bee’s Knees

A drink with so few ingredients could be hard to turn into something nonalcoholic. Seedlip Spice brings the complexity of a gin’s botanicals to the cocktail without the booze, while the lavender honey syrup is a unique addition to this Prohibition-era drink. Makes 1 cocktail.

This recipe, and others like it, can be found in the article “Our Favorite Nonalcoholic Cocktails Are as Tasty as They Are Sophisticated.”
