One particular drink caught my attention: “The Bee Sting.” As someone who has a soft spot for anything bee- or honey-related, it was love at first sip.

This delightful concoction was not only delicious but also had a pleasant spicy kick to it, serving as the inspiration for this fun cocktail recipe.
