DAY EIGHT: Bee’s Knees at Cowfish (Universal CityWalk)
–
The Cowfish at Universal CityWalk is certainly one of the most unique restaurants in Orlando. Filled with tongue-in-cheek humor (both in the decor and on the menu), Cowfish fuses a burger joint and a sushi restaurant into a fantastic hybrid. With several bars, The Cowfish is also a great place to stop by for a quick drink and today we are going to recommend the Bees Knees. Served with a honeycomb stick drizzled with honey, Bees Knees is a citrusy gin drink with the honey adding a sweet note to the taste.
Ingredients: Miller’s gin, lemon and lime juice, honey, soda
Also be sure to stop by and try one of the hand-spun milkshakes. Each one of them is fantastic but you have to try the Marshmallow Crisp, The P “DOUBLE-B” & J, and the Gimmie More S’more shakes. SO GOOD!
