The warmer days, the flowering trees on The Oval, commencement right around the corner... there’s no time like springtime on campus! For this installment of Mixology Minute, JT Houssami walks us through the Bee’s Knees — a refreshing spring cocktail that brings together gin, honey and lemon for a flavor combination that’s meant to bee! Bring it to your next get-together on the patio, or just make it for yourself to be transported back to one of the best times of year on campus.
