Bee's Knees & The Glory of Gin (with Kristina Hansen)


Listen Later

The Bee's Knees... pretty simple cocktail, but it has a fascinating history behind its inventor. For this Prohibition classic we honor the past and present by discussing the spy like tale of Frank Meier, and interviewing the Founder/Owner/Distiller/GM of Bimini Gin Kristina Hansen. We'll dive deep into Frank's story as a player in the French resistance against the Nazi's, and Kristina's journey from Brooklyn to Maine becoming a full time Gin distiller and overall badass.
