This popular summery cocktail from the Vig Bar in New York City has a delightfully fresh flavor, thanks to plenty of fresh cucumber, a little lime juice, and some elderflower liqueur.
Ingredients
- 3 cubes ice
- 4 thick slices fresh cucumber
- 1 dash lime juice
- 1 dash simple syrup
- ¾ cup ice
- 2 fluid ounces gin (such as Hendrick's)
- 1 fluid ounce elderflower liqueur (such as St. Germain®)
- 1 slice cucumber for garnish
- 1 splash club soda
Directions
Step 1
Place 3 ice cubes into a pint glass. Place 4 thick cucumber slices into glass, top with lime juice and simple syrup, and muddle thoroughly until cucumber pieces are juicy and broken up, about 10 seconds.
Step 2
Fill pint glass about 3/4 full of ice; pour gin and elderflower liqueur over ice. Shake gently and strain into a cocktail glass. Add 1 or 2 small pieces of muddled cucumber. Garnish with 1 slice of cucumber and add splash of club soda. Serve with straw.
