Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare salt solution

    In a small spoon, dissolve a pinch of fine sea salt in 1 teaspoon warm water. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside; this will add a subtle briny note to the drink.

  2. 2

    Juice cucumber

    If you haven't got ready cucumber juice, peel and roughly chop half of a large English cucumber. Press through a fine mesh sieve or use a juicer to yield 1 ounce (about 30 ml) of clear cucumber juice. Strain to remove solids.

  3. 3

    Combine ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.5 oz dry vermouth, 1 oz fresh cucumber juice, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz elderflower liqueur, 0.25 oz agave syrup, and the 0.25 tsp sea salt solution.

  4. 4

    Dry shake (optional)

    Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10 seconds without ice to help emulsify the cucumber and agave for a silky texture (optional but recommended).

  5. 5

    Shake with ice

    Add a generous scoop of ice to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled.

  6. 6

    Double strain

    Using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer, double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove any tiny cucumber solids and ice shards.

Garnish & Finish

  1. 7

    Salt rim (optional)

    If you want a salinity accent, lightly dampen a small section of the glass rim with lemon and dip that portion into the smoked sea salt so only a thin patch adheres (do not fully rim the glass).

  2. 8

    Garnish and serve

    Float a long cucumber ribbon inside the glass and place a lemon twist on the rim or laid across the cucumber. If using the edible sea glass sugar shard, balance it on the rim or place carefully on the surface as a visual accent. Serve immediately.
