Even though we’re in peak frigid January, I’m looking forward to warmer temps and crisp, refreshing cocktails. One of my favorites ever is a Bee’s Knees Cocktail – it’s *delish*, both delightfully sour yet sweet, and it’s super simple to make – only 3 ingredients!
To make it even easier, I ordered all the ingredients to be delivered with my Walmart+ membership! My store offers free same-day delivery from the store on orders of $35+ (restrictions apply) so everything was delivered straight to my door! ,
Almost anything you can find at your Walmart can be delivered to your home as fast as same-day, at the same everyday low prices from Walmart that we all love!

I ordered my Bee’s Knees ingredients and the prices were the SAME as in-store and delivered to my door!
Bee’s Knees Cocktail Ingredients
You can totally tweak this recipe if you want your Bee’s Knees a little stronger, sweeter or more sour, but here are the ingredients & measurements I use for 2 cocktails:
- 4 oz vodka or gin (totally a personal preference! if you do use gin, it’s not a super strong gin flavor as the other ingredients make it more subtle)
- 1.5 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice (love this juicer!)
- 1.5 oz honey simple syrup (details on that below)
I had all these ingredients delivered from Walmart+ same-day!
How to Make Honey Simple Syrup
Honey simple syrup is SO easy – it’s just 1 part honey, 1 part water combined in a saucepan over medium to get the honey to dissolve into the water. I like to make enough to pour into a squeeze bottle to store in the fridge for other times I want a drizzle of honey, so I do 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup water and have plenty leftover. I pour it into this squeeze bottle for storage.
How to Make a Bee’s Knees
- Juice your lemons until you get 1.5 ounces (this juicer works great!)
- Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar with a lid (I love these plastic lids) with ice
- Pour 1.5 ounces of lemon juice into the shaker/mason jar
- Pour 1.5 ounces of your honey simple syrup into the shaker/mason jar
- Pour 4 ounces of vodka or gin into the shaker/mason jar
- Shake!
- Pour between 2 glasses, straining out any ice or lemon seeds
- Garnish with a small lemon slice & enjoy!
