​CUCUMBER ROSEMARY GIN AND TONIC

INGREDIENTS & SUPPLIES

directions
  • Gin (2 ounces)
  • Ice
  • Tonic water (4 ounces)
  • Fresh lime juice (1 lime - sliced into 6 wedges)
  • 1 small cucumber - sliced into ribbons or "noodles"
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Optional: 1 small watermelon radish - it’s just a garnish, so you don’t need it for flavor.
  • Cocktail Muddler
  • Cocktail Shaker​
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Highball cocktail glass
  • Add 2 cucumber "noodles", juice from one lime, one rosemary sprig, and 2 ounces gin to a cocktail shaker or highball glass. Muddle with the back of a spoon. The muddler is used to mash the cucumber and rosemary with the gin. This essentially infuses the flavors into the gin
  • Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean cocktail glass (highball glasses are typically used for gin and tonics). Fill glass with ice and top with tonic. Garnish with additional cucumber ribbons, rosemary sprigs, and 1-2 thinly sliced watermelon radish rounds
