Version control protects source code from both catastrophe and the casual degradation of human error and unintended consequences. For most software teams, the source code is a repository of the invaluable knowledge and understanding about the problem domain that the developers have collected and refined through careful effort. The seltzer helps lighten this drink up a bit, without taking away from the nice balance of citrus from the lemon, the juniper flavor of the gin, and the sweetness of the honey simple syrup.For almost all software projects, the source code is like the crown jewels - a precious asset whose value must be protected. To serve, add ice to a rocks glass then fill with the mixture. Pour in the gin, followed by the simple syrup, and the lemon seltzer. Juice your lemons until you have 2 cups of lemon juice (about 10 to 12 lemons). When the mixture has cooled and you’re ready to make the batch cocktail, grab a pitcher (paid link) that holds at least 3 quarts. You can also add this to a pint jar and refrigerate for up to one month. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Stir until the honey and water are fully combined.

Add the water and honey to a pot over medium high heat and bring to a simmer. Ingredients (makes 20 servings multiply/divide as needed):įirst, make your honey simple syrup.

The Bee’s Knees is a Prohibition-era cocktail made with gin, lemon juice, and honey simple syrup. We are doing a honeybee theme, I’ve been working on a beehive cake, honeycomb decorations, and honey-filled beverages, including this Bees Knees Batch Cocktail. I am in full preparation mode for my sister’s upcoming baby shower.
