It’s time to have a refreshing cocktail! Here in New York City, the Memorial Day weekend was rained out, and it was pretty chilly out, so most of us weren’t able to BBQ or have drinks in our backyards. So, we’ll make up for that this weekend. The Eastside Rickey is super refreshing and perfect for a warm spring day or evening. I personally love gin, this cocktail is totally me. However, if you don’t like the taste of it, it is easily replaced with vodka or tequila blanco. You will love it!
What you’ll need:
- 2 oz Beefeater Dry Gin
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 3 slices of cucumber
- 6 mint leaves
In a cocktail shaker muddle 2 slices of cucumber and 5 mint leaves. Add gin, lime juice, and simple syrup with ice, and shake well. drain into a tall glass. Add a slice of cucumber and a mint leaf as garnish.
Cheers!
