Looking for a campy horror fix? Learn if “The Deadly Bees” buzzes with entertainment or stings with disappointment. Tune in for scares, laughs, and maybe even a new favorite cocktail!

Killer Bee Recipe

• 1 1/2 oz honey
• 2 oz mezcal
• 1 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions:

To make a honey syrup, in a small bowl or jar, combine the honey with 1 1⁄2 ounces water.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the mezcal, lemon juice, and 3⁄4 ounce of the honey syrup (save the remaining honey syrup for another cocktail). Fill the shaker three-quarters of the way with ice and shake vigorously for 10 seconds if serving on the rocks or 15 seconds if serving “up.” Strain into an ice-filled double old-fashioned glass or bucket glass, or serve up with no ice.
