Eastside Gimlet
🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass
Cucumber and mint get muddled into the classic lime and sugar syrup base here, lengthened with a splash of soda water for a refreshing gin Gimlet variation. That cucumber and mint add a cooling, garden-fresh quality a standard Gimlet doesn't have. Popularized at New York's PDT bar in the 2000s, it's become a modern classic in its own right. A great warm-weather gin cocktail for anyone who loves fresh herbs.
