Cucumber Gin Gimlet
If you are like me, my living room has been the new
location for my at-home happy hours. If I am going to
be inside the house, then I must make sure that my
cocktails are strong and light.
One of my latest cocktail obsessions is this recipe
for a Cucumber Gin Gimlet. If you are not a fan of gin,
like myself, then you can substitute it with vodka. If
you are a fan of gin, then you’re going to love this
cocktail.
When I am entertaining, I make sure to use the
vegetable peeler for the cucumber slices. It adds a
sort of wow-factor. I like this cocktail because it is
ideal for a dinner party, or after a long day working
from home.
Ingredients
• 2 ounces of gin. (I used Sipsmith)
• 4 slices of cucumber, cut 1/4-inch thick
• 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary
• 1/2 lime, juice only
• 1 ounce of simple syrup
Garnish
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
• 1 strip of cucumber
• 1 slice of lime
Directions
Add cucumber slices, fresh rosemary, lime juice, and simple
syrup into a cocktail shaker. Muddle well. Add ice and gin.
Stir gently for 30 seconds. Use a vegetable peeler to make
long strips of cucumber. Next, wrap the strips on the inside
of a tumbler. Fill with ice. Strain the ice cold gimlet into the
tumbler.
