The Bee's Knees was created in the 1920's and is thought to have been created by Frank Meier at the Hôtel Ritz Paris. The drink is essentially a Gin Sour that substitutes the Simple Syrup for Honey Syrup. There are other similar drinks such as the Honeysuckle that substitutes the Gin for White Rum, and the Honey Bee that substitutes the Gin for Dark Rum. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
