Looking to sweeten up your summer? Why not celebrate with a drink in honor of National Honey Bee Day, a day to celebrate honey bees and recognize their contribution to humans' everyday lives as a means of protecting this critical species. It occurs annually on the third Satruday of August, paying homage to both bees and beekeepers, whose labors ensure there are well-managed, healthy bees to pollinate crops.

So honor the day, take a seat, and admire the sweet, golden syrupe these hard workers produce with this Vanilla Zester cocktail. The smoothness of BLY Rum is sure to give you a good buzz (no pun intended), and the Blume Vanilla Citrus Honey Water and lemon make for a soothing, citrusy summer sipper. Just shake, pour, and serve.

BLY Vanilla Zester

1 oz BLY Silver Rum
1 oz Blume Vanilla Citrus Honey Water
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz Simple Syrup

Shake all ingredients with ice, pour over ice.

Don’t miss a single sippable thing!
