Cómo preparar Cucumber Mint Gimlet
- **Make the Cucumber Gin:** Dice 1/2 cup peeled cucumber. Steep in 1 cup gin for 8-24 hours (longer for more intense flavor, up to 4 days). Strain and store in the refrigerator.
- **Make the Mint Simple Syrup:** Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Heat over medium-high, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves. Remove from heat, cover, and steep for 30-60 minutes. Strain and discard mint. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
- **Prepare the Gimlet:** Combine 2 oz of Cucumber Gin, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 3/4 oz Mint Simple Syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- **Shake well:** Shake vigorously until well-chilled (about 15-20 seconds).
- **Strain and serve:** Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
- **Garnish:** Garnish with a thin cucumber ribbon or a fresh mint sprig.
