This Sparkling Bees Knees Cocktail is sweet and fizzy with delicious honey and lemon flavors swirled into your favorite vodka and champagne. It only requires four ingredients and no weird additives so you can sip deliciously knowing that what you see is what you get.
Sparkling Bees Knees
I made this cocktail for my sister’s bridal shower and it was a major hit. No seriously, it was gone before we were 30 minutes into the afternoon! Her and her now husband met on the Bumble dating app so we thought it was fitting to have the shower be bee themed. I knew I wanted a variation of the classic Bees Knees cocktail, but since she loves bubbles, I wanted to add that fizzy twist. So now we’re here with this delicious cocktail that I can’t wait for you to try for yourself!
Plus, it’s easy too.
What You’ll Need
- fresh lemon
- champange or prosecco of choice
- vodka of choice
- honey simple syrup (preferably homemade to avoid any weird additives)
Honey Simple Syrup
When I tell you simple syrup was named correctly, I mean it. It could not be more simple! Traditional simple syrup is made with equal parts water and sugar, and the same goes for this honey flavor. It’s just equal parts honey and equal parts water on the stove. See the recipe for full instructions, but I promise you, it couldn’t be easier.
