For 1 Person(s)

1 1/2 ounces gin
1/2 ounces simple syrup
2 chunks of fresh cucumber
3/4 ounces fresh lemon juice
2 ounces Q Tonic, or other all-natural tonic water
4 drops rose water

Q-Cumber Cocktail Directions

Muddle the cucumber with the simple syrup. Add the lemon juice and gin. Shake and fine-strain* into a rocks glass over ice. Top with the Q Tonic and rose water.

* Fine-straining refers to straining the cocktail with both the Hawthorne strainer (attached to the mixing glass) and a mesh or tea strainer held by your non-pouring hand between the shaker and the glass. This technique will catch all of the herb or fruit particles and make for a perfectly clean cocktail.
