Higher quality anejo or resposado tequilas are particularly well suited for the honey and lemon combo. So far I have found that Don Julio anejo, which is naturally sweeter, is perfect for this cocktail. Thanks for the ideas! Chase Jeff,

I've been following your blog for a little while, and just recently bought my first bottle of Pyrat XO because I've been dying to try this cocktail. Well done! Good grief, this is tasty!

He had made a Bee's Knees both with Gin and Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum side by side. What a wonderful experience. I got to thin out the honey for him! Whoo Hoo! Thanks for the plugs! Keep a close lookout for ultimatebarchef.com mail in cocktail competition coming soon. Working out all of the details now. You will be one of the first to know By the way, it looks like Lisa and I will both be attending Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans! I'm sure we'll have a great time together and we are looking forward to it. But beware, Julio "El Diablo" Bermejo will be there. OUCH! Cheers! Sean Hi Jeffrey,

Off topic, where is a good place to find good quality bar tools? I have been all over (typical places Williams and Sonoma, Pottery Barn, "then the bar cause those places drive me nuts") and I cannot seem to find proper barware, i.e. bar knife, peeler, antique juicer, etc.. Any thoughts? Thanks Jeffrey,

I had seen so many people making the Bee's Knees with white rum that I figured it was another one of those cocktails with no formal recipe. And speaking of peach, I have another cocktail to post next week. Dominik, once you try the rum this way, you're guaranteed to never <em>not</em> taste the honey tones of Pyrat again, I promise!

Yeah - Pyrat XO has a incredible orange tang (but I don't taste honey in it - anyway, we add honey) and it works very well in several top shelf cocktails! Well done!

It is made with Rum (aguardiente de cana), lemon juice, and honey. A fellow webtender reported that strawberry and peach versions of the Canchánchara were very popular in his Italian bar.
