2 oz. Hendrick's Gin
4 cucumber slices
Fresh cilantro leaves, to taste
1 oz. fresh lime juice
1 oz. simple syrup
club soda, to taste
ice
1 Cucumber slice or lime for garnish
Muddle cucumber slices and cilantro in shaker. Add lime juice, simple syrup, lime juice, gin, and ice.
Shake. Pour into Collins glass and top with club soda. Garnish with lime or cucumber slice.
For the ZaZa get-the-evening-killin'-it dance. Sometimes, I'll substitute Pernod (non-absinthe) for the absinthe, but absinthe gives it the 6th gear.
2 oz. rye whiskey (Thomas Handy or Rip Van Winkle)
I love a gin martini this time of year, but occasionally a twist on the concept is in order.
3oz. white tequila,
1/2 oz. dry vermouth,
dash of Angostura bitters,
lemon twist.
Stir tequila, vermouth, and bitters in mixing glass with cracked ice. Strain into chilled martini glass with lemon twist.
