WORDS Tracy Greenwood
The kind folks at Hendrick’s Gin came up with a selection of cocktails tailor-made for VISI. Following a delicious tasting one summery afternoon, we selected a winner.
THE GIN
Fans of Hendrick’s Gin are passionate about their favourite spirit and the pretty Victorian apothecary-style bottle it comes in. Which is why so many of them have found other uses for the empties, from vases to hand soap dispensers.
THE VISI CUBED
Design, design, design is what this cocktail is all about, with a perfect layering of cucumber and rose, and fresh notes of lime and mint.
INGREDIENTS
- 50 ml Hendrick’s Gin
- 25 ml lime juice
- 10 ml cucumber syrup
- 10 ml rose geranium cordial
- A cucumber ribbon, to garnish
- Fresh mint, to garnish
METHOD
Combine the first four ingredients in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice and shake briskly. Line a dry glass of your choice with a thinly sliced cucumber ribbon and strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
