The Cucumber Fizz / Collins - Episode 9

I love this refreshing drink, I love Hendricks Gin and its perfect for this time of year. Its fresh and has a zesty feel and a great medium sweet drink for Summer time.
A variation on the classic fizz / collins formula of 2 parts gin, I part lemon and I part sugar syrup. My interpretation is 2 parts Hendricks, which has cucumber infusion in the distillation process plus hints of Rosemary and Coriander. To enhance the gin which is the most important component of the cocktail, the addition of lemon and lime work fantastically. I love the smoothness of the lime and it balances out the tartness of the lemon. Balance is key, with the sugar you need to assess your own stock and what time of year it is when considering your fruits.
Blackwoods, Tanqueray and their no.10 gin with their fresh botanical touch would provide excellent service to this cocktail and varying the fruits or flavouring the syrups with liquorice or chamomile for instance.To prepare this drink muddle some cucumber and lime in a mixing glass, add some lemon, sugar suyrup and the gin, shake it with the ice, strain into a ‘collins’ glass filled with fresh ice and top with soda, garnish with a lemon twist or slice and a cucumber piece.
Recipe:
5 cl Hendrick Gin
1cl Lime Juice
1cl Lemon Juice
1-2 cl Sugar Syrup
Cucumber
