Cucumber-Rosemary Gin & Tonic:
Ingredients:
Makes 1 serving
Skill Level: Novice
• 1 cucumber
• 1 lime
• Sprigs of rosemary
• 2 oz. Hendrick’s Gin
• 4 oz. tonic water (Fever-Tree)
• Ice
Directions:
Peel and cut the cucumber into thin slices; zest the lime and slice into eight wedges. Place three cucumber slices in your glass and combine with 1 ounce of gin and the juice squeezed from one lime wedge; muddle together to release flavors. Add several cubes of ice and top it off with remaining gin and tonic water. If you prefer a less-sweet cocktail, go easy on the tonic water and use soda water, instead. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary. Voilà!
