A booze-free twist on the classic Bee’s Knees cocktail that trades gin for depth. Honey syrup and fresh lemon bring brightness, while Rustic Oak’s Barrel Aged Old Fashioned Mixer and Aromatic Bitters add warmth and spice. It’s balanced, complex and proof that alcohol-free doesn’t have to mean flat.
