Ingredients
- 3 inch sprig fresh rosemary (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 thick slices cucumber (plus a spear or slice to garnish)
- 2 oz gin
- 1 large lime, juiced (roughly 1 oz juice) (Save a slice to garnish the glass)
- .5 oz simple syrup*
- 4-5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Strip the rosemary leaves from the stem and place them along with the cucumber slices in a cocktail shaker (or pint glass). Muddle the rosemary and cucumber until well crushed and fragrant.
- Add the gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Cover your shaker and shake well (or, if using a pint glass, stir the heck out of it) until the drink is cold and well mixed.
- Strain the drink into your serving glass over a couple cubes of ice (if desired). Garnish the glass with a sprig of rosemary, a cucumber spear, and a lime slice.
Notes
*To make simple syrup: Heat equal parts white sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Let cool before using.
Simple syrup can be stored in a sealed, glass jar in the refrigerator for up to a month.
