Instructions

The Cucumber Zest Fizz is a refreshing and zesty cocktail that highlights the unique flavor profile of Hendrick's Gin with its cucumber and rose undertones. The addition of ginger beer adds a spicy effervescence that pairs well with the fresh botanicals, while lime juice brings a necessary citrusy tang to balance the sweetness. This drink is simple to make yet sophisticated in taste, perfect for a summer evening or as a festive party cocktail. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Hendrick's Gin - 4 oz Ginger Beer, chilled - 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 0.25 oz Simple Syrup (optional, if you prefer a sweeter drink) - 5-6 Fresh Mint Leaves - 2-3 Thin slices of cucumber - Lime wheel or cucumber ribbon, for garnish - Ice Cubes **Instructions:** 1. In a shaker, muddle the mint leaves gently with the lime juice and simple syrup (if using) to release the flavors. 2. Add Hendrick's Gin to the shaker with a handful of ice cubes. 3. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 4. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes. 5. Strain the mixture into the highball glass over the ice. 6. Top with chilled ginger beer, stirring gently to combine. 7. Garnish with additional mint leaves, a floating lime wheel, or a cucumber ribbon for a touch of elegance. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing concoction of the Cucumber Zest Fizz! The highball glass showcases the drink’s effervescence and allows plenty of room for the ginger beer to mingle with the gin and other flavors. The result is an invigorating, slightly spicy, and utterly delightful cocktail that's perfect for gin enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
