“The Bees Knees”: A Gin-Sational Adventure Aboard Nafsika II
“The Bees Knees”: A Gin-Sational Adventure Aboard Nafsika II
Hey there, cocktail aficionados, adventure-seekers, and all-around lovers of good times! Today, we’re buzzing about something so remarkable, so delightful, and so unabashedly enchanting you’ll swear we’ve had a few sips of the magic potion ourselves. And in a way, we have!
But before we delve into the extraordinary details of tomorrow evening’s cruise, let’s chat about something. It’s a humble cocktail, but my oh my, does it pack a punch.
A punch sweet as honey and sharp as a bee sting. Yes, my friends, we’re talking about the one and only: “Bees Knees.”

The Sweet Buzz About the Bees Knees
A delightful mix of gin, fresh lemon juice, and honey simple syrup, this Prohibition-era classic has been the bees knees since the flapper skirts were in vogue, and the Charleston was the dance floor’s darling. Why such a buzzing name? Well, back in the Roaring Twenties, if something was genuinely excellent, it was dubbed “the bee’s knees.” And let me tell you, this cocktail doesn’t just live up to its name—it pirouettes on the edge of the champagne glass, shouting, “Watch me!”
It’s a divinely simple cocktail, yet it boasts a complexity that would have Ernest Hemingway penning novels about it.
The gin’s botanicals play a symphony, the honey’s sweetness sings a lullaby, and the lemon’s tangy bite—well, that’s the jazz solo right there. It’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser and the perfect sip to make you feel like a VIP at any gathering. Speaking of gatherings…
An evening to Remember Aboard the Nafsika II
Remember when we mentioned something fabulous happening tomorrow night, on the 10th of June? Pack your party pants because we’re setting sail on the majestic Nafsika II for an unparalleled evening of cocktails and barbeque under the twinkling Mediterranean stars.
The Nafsika II, hailing from the charming harbour of Latchi, is like the Titanic but without the icebergs, the tragic ending, or the heartbreaking scene of Jack freezing to death. On second thought, the Nafsika II is nothing like the Titanic, except for the unforgettable experience it offers.

As the sun dips into the Mediterranean, we’ll be stirring, shaking, and serving a swarm of Bees Knees cocktails.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of sipping this golden nectar as the sea breeze teases your hair. The sizzling barbecue tantalizes your senses—well, prepare for an experience that’s the, you guessed it, bee’s knees!
A Fusion of Flavors – Sip, Savor, and Sail
The Nafsika II BBQ Cruise isn’t just about the spectacular Bees Knees (although, if it was, we doubt anyone would complain!). Our chefs have been locked in a culinary battle royale to bring you the most succulent, mouthwatering BBQ you’ve ever tasted. From perfectly seared Souvlaki to fresh-off-the-grill Halloumi, this BBQ will have you questioning all your past life choices that didn’t involve being on a BBQ cruise.
So, don’t miss out on a chance to be part of this intoxicating voyage. Book your spot, and join us for a spectacular evening of gin-spiration, gourmet grilling, and unparalleled fun aboard Nafsika II. Let’s make tomorrow night the bee’s knees, the cat’s pyjamas, and the eel’s ankle all rolled into one.
Just remember the sage advice of the bees: Always.
