- 2-3 Dashes Aromatic Bitter
- 0.75 oz Lemon Juice
METHOD:
- Mix all ingredients into a cocktail shaker, and top with ice.

REVIEW:
This cocktail is a little perplexing. The honey and pineapple juice was a weird combination and didn’t sit well on my tastebuds. The bourbon was overpowered by the number of ingredients. I wanted to rate this cocktail higher, but the flavors were just too much for me to enjoy. This Kentucky Bee is really more like a “D.”
