Ingredients
Cocktail
Cocktail
1. Prepare cucumber juice
Peel (optional) and roughly chop 1 small English cucumber (about 6–8 oz). Place the cucumber pieces in a blender and pulse until liquefied. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a small bowl, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Measure out 1 oz of the fresh cucumber juice; refrigerate the remainder for another use.
2. Combine base spirits and modifiers
In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz Clase Azul Plata, 0.5 oz Hendrick's Gin, 0.5 oz Grand Marnier 100 and 0.25 oz Cointreau.
3. Add citrus, syrup and cucumber
To the shaker add 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 1 oz fresh cucumber juice. If using bitters, add 2 dashes now.
4. Dry shake and wet shake
Optional: give a quick dry shake (no ice) for 5–7 seconds to better integrate the cucumber juice. Then add a handful of ice to the shaker (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
5. Strain into glass
Fill a Collins glass or highball with fresh ice. Double-strain the shaker contents into the glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove small cucumber solids and ice shards.
6. Top with tonic
Top the cocktail with 3 oz chilled cucumber tonic. Stir gently once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate the tonic without flattening the bubbles.
7. Garnish and serve
Garnish with a long cucumber ribbon (threaded along the inside of the glass) or a cucumber wheel and a lemon wheel or twist. Serve with a straw.
8. Notes
Taste and adjust: if the cocktail is too tart, add an extra 0.25 oz simple syrup; if too sweet, add 0.25 oz more lemon. The small amounts of two orange liqueurs give a layered orange note—use only one if you prefer less sweetness.
