Few gins offer the elegance and complexity of Beespoke Gin, an artisanal spirit distilled from grapes and infused with a bouquet of pollinator-friendly botanicals like rose hips, cardamom, milkweed, and elderberry. This floral-forward gin is a true expression of craftsmanship. Sourced from wine made in New York’s Finger Lakes region and proofed with mountain spring water, Beespoke Gin is unfiltered, unbothered, and beautifully balanced.
Its delicate aromatics and notes of sweet grape, juniper, citrus, and elderberry make it a perfect base for refreshing cocktails that highlight rather than overpower. Whether you’re a seasoned mixologist or just looking for something simple yet sophisticated to pour at your next gathering, these five easy Beespoke Gin cocktails will help you savor the season with flavor and style.
And the best part? You don’t need a fancy bar setup to make them. Just a few key ingredients, your favorite glassware, and a bottle of Beespoke Gin available now through your favorite online liquor store, spirits shop, or online alcohol delivery service.
1. The Beespoke Bee’s Knees
A Prohibition-era classic with a floral twist
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Beespoke Gin
- ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
- ¾ oz honey syrup
Instructions:
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or edible flower.
Why it works:
The traditional Bee’s Knees gets an upgrade with the floral and citrusy undertones of Beespoke Gin. The honey draws out the botanical sweetness, while the lemon keeps it crisp and refreshing. Serve it at brunch or as a welcome drink—it’s sunshine in a glass.
Pro tip: Warm your honey slightly before mixing it with water for a smoother syrup. Want to elevate it further? Use wildflower honey for extra floral nuance.
2. The Garden G&T
A botanical refresh on the gin and tonic
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Beespoke Gin
- 4 oz premium tonic water
- Garnish: cucumber ribbons, mint leaves, and edible flowers
Instructions:
Fill a balloon or highball glass with ice. Pour in Beespoke Gin, top with tonic, and gently stir. Garnish generously.
Why it works:
This isn’t your average G&T. The grape-based spirit shines against a clean tonic backdrop, while the herbal garnish enhances its botanical blend. Think spa day in a glass—ideal for spring brunches or backyard evenings.
Glassware matters: Use a wide balloon glass to trap the aromatics and let the garnish breathe. It’s not just prettier—it enhances the experience.

Why it works:
The elderberry and floral elements of the gin marry beautifully with the elderflower liqueur, creating a bright and subtly sweet fizz that’s ideal for sipping all day long. Perfect for garden parties or bridal showers.
