Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I agree with fprincess that OJ in cocktails is dicey, but here it works. I too used blood orange juice and also used orange blossom honey. The blood orange juice tinted the drink a lovely shade of pink. This is a good cocktail to showcase an interesting and not too pine-y gin (I used Solveig).

    A twist on the Bee's Knees with lemon and orange juice. I used a blood orange because that's all I had. I used honey syrup instead of neat honey and adjusted the amount accordingly. Very pretty and refreshing cocktail. As explained in the book, this cocktail has a silly name but it may be even better than the Bee's Knees. I usually don't care much for orange juice in cocktails, but this one is a keeper.
