Just like Mrs. Margaret Brown—the indomitable woman behind the classic Bee’s Knees—defied nature by surviving the Titanic disaster, the bumblebee does the same. It shouldn’t be able to fly, yet it does. The bumblebee’s pursuit of sweetness has inspired our creative reinterpretation of this timeless cocktail.
In our version, we follow cocktail icon David Embury’s lead from "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks" by adding a splash of freshly squeezed orange juice to the classic recipe. But we take it even further by mixing it with Njord Distilled Slow Sloe gin, which brings a deep sweetness and fruity complexity that elevates the cocktail to new heights.

Slow Sloe both builds on and challenges the proud British sloe gin traditions. Whole sloe berries and a small amount of blackberries is infused in the gin for 9 - 12 months before it is sweetened with honey from Njord’s distillery garden and bottled. The result is a gin with lots of fruit and intense notes of almond and marzipan from the kernels entwined with floral notes that partly come from the honey.
