Ryan is REALLY excited for Bee’s Knees Week, and here’s why you should be too! 🐝🍸
It is officially the best week of the year because drinking an incredible cocktail actually helps save our favorite pollinators. Here is the deal: for every single photo of a Barr Hill Bee’s Knees cocktail posted on Instagram using the hashtag , BARR HILL GIN will fund and plant new, vital pollinator habitats. It is literally that easy to make a difference—you sip a drink, they plant the flowers, and the bees win.
To help you celebrate, we are hosting exclusive pop-up tastings so you can try the line-up for yourself! Come sip the classics, explore the rich flavors of their barrel-aged Tom Cat Gin, and sample some incredibly cool variants we're shaking up.
No RSVPs needed, just show up ready to taste:
📍 Portland: Tuesday, 6/23 from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Wells: Wednesday, 6/24 from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Can't wait until the tastings? You can mix up the official Barr Hill blueprint at home right now. It is simple, balanced, and perfectly highlights their honey-distilled gin:
✨ 2 oz Barr Hill Gin
✨ .75 oz Fresh lemon juice
✨ .75 oz Raw honey syrup (equal parts honey & warm water)
*Shake hard with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.*🍋
We have secured an ultra-limited batch of a barrel select from our neighbors at (Woodford Food & Beverage). It’s their unique Bourbon & Bitter Double Barreled Tom Cat Gin. It sips beautifully like a fine whiskey but keeps that distinct gin soul. Supply is incredibly tight, and once it's gone, it's gone for good.
Come out, taste some gin, and let's save some bees! See you there!
