Hot Honey Apricot Bee's Knee's

 

To end the #joinjulesstonefruitweek I give you a Hot Honey Apricot Bee’s Knee’s and man oh man that hot honey gives this cocktail the perfect amount of back heat.

If you love apricots and want to make more than one, I recommend making an apricot purée and adding 1 oz instead of muddling a whole apricot. To make the purée just blend 1 cup chopped and pitted apricots with 1/2 cup water, blend and strain.

Now let’s make this at home:
1 apricot, pitted and chopped
2-3 sprigs of basil
1/2 oz hot honey
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
1.5 oz gin

Muddle the apricot, basil, hot honey, and lemon juice.
Add in gin and ice and shake!
Double strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a fresh mint sprig.

Xoxo, cheers!
