Summertime is about to arrive...sunny afternoons, lazy weekends and trips to the beach! So I created a summertime cocktail to cool down and refresh whether its by the BBQ, by the beach or just chilling at the pool. This one incorporates fresh English Cucumber, Organic Sweet Basil, Hendricks Gin and St.Germain. One of my favorite Gins, infused with cucumber and rose petals - just what a little summertime could use! Enjoy...!
- English Cucumber & Basil Cocktail
The EC & B
2 oz. Hendricks Gin
3/4 oz. St. Germain
3/4 oz. Fresh Lime
1/2 oz. Agave Nectar
4 slices of English Cucumber
4-6 Basil Leaves
Muddle the English Cucumber & Basil in a mixing glass. Add agave & lime juice as well as Hendricks Gin & St. Germain. Add Ice. Shake it like a poloroid picture. Strain into an old fashioned glass. Add some fresh ice. Sprinkle just a touch of sea salt on top of the drink for added complexity....Drink / Enjoy / Repeat.
