Cocktail Recipe: The Gentleman Farmer
Muddle together in the bottom of a cocktail shaker small bunches of:
- Thyme
- Mint
- Tarragon
Add:
- 1 slice cucumber, roughly chopped
- 2 oz Last Straw Distillery Gin Twenty-One
- 1/4 oz Strega (or substitute other herbal liqueur like Chartreuse)
- 3/4 oz lemon juice
- 3/4 oz light maple syrup (or simple syrup)
- 1 oz egg white (or aquafaba – the “juice” from a can of chickpeas, for a vegan option)
Shake well without ice first, then add ice and shake again.
Fill a Collins or Hi-Ball glass with ice, and strain the cocktail through a fine sieve. Finish with:
- Top up of soda water
