The Lemon Basil Collins was exceptional, and I do love me some Basil, but…this Lemon Rosemary Cucumber Collins smells and tastes like Heaven’s Happy Hour. Like Castiel swooped down in his trench coat and said, “Here, drink this to exorcise demons. You’re welcome.”
Like the Basil, the Rosemary is also from my yard, which makes it just that much better.
This drink is more savory than sweet, for those us who don’t always like our alcohol to taste like candy.
Follow the flowchart:
In an otherwise empty glass add one slice of lemon, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and one sprig of fresh Rosemary.
Muddle muddle muddle… the more you muddle, the more flavor is released from the Rosemary. Muddle muddle muddle.
On top of the now muddled mess of Lemon, sugar, and Rosemary, add several slices or chunks of cucumber and fill the glass with ice.
Add 1.5 oz shot of Gin.
Top off with unsweetened Lemon flavored seltzer water.
Stir, cause all the good stuff is at the bottom.
Garnish with a Lemon wedge and another sprig of fresh Rosemary.
Buckle up for some serious yum!
