Sweet rum limeade

This sweet rum limeade is one of my favorite recent drinks I’ve concocted.

Mezcal Margarita

Honeybee Sour — A Version of the Bee’s Knees Gin Cocktail
This is basically a fancified Bees Knees cocktail. I’m calling it, “Honeybee Sour.” We used grapefruit gin, lemon juice, almond extract, honey, an egg white and some club soda.
