Base spirit & modifiers

2 oz Hendrick's Gin1/2 oz Dry vermouth1/2 oz Elderflower liqueur (e.g., St-Germain)

Citrus & sugar

1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice1/4 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)

Aromatic & garnish

2 slices Cucumber slice1 leaf Fresh basil leaf1 twist Lemon twist6 cubes Ice

Method

Preparation

Muddle aromatics

In a mixing glass, add 1 cucumber slice and the basil leaf. Gently muddle once or twice — just enough to release cucumber juice and basil oils without shredding the basil.

Add liquids

Add Hendrick's Gin (2 oz), dry vermouth (0.5 oz), elderflower liqueur (0.5 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.5 oz) and simple syrup (0.25 oz) into the mixing glass with the muddled aromatics.

Ice and stir

Add ice (enough to fill the mixing glass, ~6 cubes). Stir for 20–30 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted (glass should feel very cold).

Finish & serve

Double strain

Using a julep or fine cocktail strainer, double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove small bits of basil and cucumber.

Garnish

Float the remaining cucumber slice on the surface and express the lemon twist over the drink (twist skin downward to release oils) before dropping it in. Optionally rub the rim briefly with the lemon twist for extra aroma.

Serve immediately while cold.
