Default Refreshing cocktails....

I'm mostly a wine drinker, but decided to dip into the gin and come up with something new in this heat. This may sound strange, but it was actually quite refreshing and tasty!


spot aromatic bitters
slice of lemon
slice of cucumber
slice of fresh ginger (skin on)
Bombay saphire gin
crushed ice

Simply poured, not shaken... however I did let it "marinate" for 10 minutes before I tasted -- wanted to get all that flavor extraction.

Cheers! S
