Oakham Nub News has joined forces with a regular reader to share a 'Cocktail of the Week' feature.

Hello everybody, Josh here. Thanks for joining me for another week of cocktails.

This week's cocktail of the week is the Bee's knees.

This was invented during the prohibition to make bathtub gin better.

The recipe is as follows:

50ml of gin

25ml lemon juice

15 ml honey syrup (3-1 ratio of honey to hot water)
