Bee's knees
Bee's knees
Starting the weekend with a bee's knees!
- 2 oz Roku gin
- 1 oz Honey syrup (2:1)
- 1 oz lemon juice
Shaken with ice.
Starting my cocktail journey, and I really like the gin/honey combination. I need to try a 3:1 ratio for the honey syrup next time though!
So a variation on the Amaretto Sour. Have you tried it with egg whites?
I do love Amaretto sour, I usually do them with aquafaba. Haven't tried with the gin, but it can't be bad!
Aquafaba because of an allergy, or ethical choice? Because while aquafaba is an amazing egg substitute in baking, it's no competitor against egg whites for taste. Plus, it has a shorter shelf life; a box of egg whites in the fridge lasts ages longer than aquafaba once it's out of the can.
My wife has an egg allergy; we use aquafaba when we can for baking, but it's just too hard to keep, and we usually end up using a powdered substitute.
Looks amazing. I say go full honey!
