Frozen Strawberry Bee’s Knees

This Frozen Strawberry Bee’s Knees is officially my favorite “goes down too easy” cocktail for spring. Light, fruity, a touch floral from the honey, and perfectly slushy for those warm-weather afternoons. It’s an Easter weekend dream and is dangerously delicious.

Traditionally, a Bee’s Knees is made with gin, lemon, and honey syrup. But we’re giving it the seasonal twist it deserves by blending in sweet frozen strawberries and fresh basil. Think of it as a spring smoothie… but boozy. And better.

Bonus: it’s super easy to make into a mocktail if you want a zero-proof version for brunch or baby showers.
