Instructions

The Emerald Saigon Sling is a refreshing and aromatic cocktail that marries the crisp flavors of cucumber and mint with the botanical notes of a Vietnamese inspired gin. This concoction pays homage to the vibrant streets and lush landscapes of Vietnam, delivering a sophisticated and refreshing experience. Perfect for a classy gathering or a tranquil evening at home, this drink served in a Nick & Nora glass symbolizes the elegance and timelessness of Indochina's charm. Ingredients: - 2 oz Vietnamese inspired gin (infused with lemongrass and black pepper for an authentic touch) - 1 oz fresh lime juice - 3/4 oz simple syrup - 4-5 fresh mint leaves - 3-4 slices of cucumber - Sparkling water to top - Ice - For garnish: a thin slice of cucumber and a sprig of mint Instructions: 1. Begin by muddling the mint leaves and cucumber slices gently in the bottom of a shaker. This releases their essential oils and flavors without breaking them into too many bits. 2. To the shaker, add the Vietnamese inspired gin, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice. 3. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker feels very cold. 4. Double strain the mixture into a chilled Nick & Nora glass to remove the bits of mint and cucumber for a smooth drinking experience. 5. Top the cocktail gently with sparkling water, creating a refreshing fizz. 6. For garnish, place a thin slice of cucumber against the inside of the glass and a sprig of mint on the rim before serving. The Emerald Saigon Sling is a celebration of freshness, heritage, and the art of mixology, delivering a taste of Vietnam in an elegantly presented sip. Enjoy this unique blend of flavors and let it transport you to the heart of Saigon, where tradition and modernity meet in every glass.
