History & Origins

Queen Bee is a vintage cocktail of uncertain origin that appears in mid-20th century American bartending references, where the combination of coffee liqueurs and sherry-style wines was more common than in contemporary cocktail culture. Its regal name suggests an attempt to position it as a premium or sophisticated drink. No single creator is credited and its precise history is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Rich coffee and mocha from the coffee brandy with a lime citrus note, a sherry nuttiness, and a clean spirit warmth from the lime vodka. Palate: An intriguing combination of bold coffee-brandy roastiness, bright lime vodka acidity and citrus freshness, and the nutty-sweet complexity of cream sherry creating a multi-layered mid-palate. Finish: Moderately long with coffee warmth, a dry nutty sherry character, and a fading lime brightness.

Pro Tip

Chill the cocktail glass thoroughly in the freezer before serving, as the layered flavours of this short, complex drink are best appreciated when the cocktail is at the coldest possible temperature.
