Curious to try something new when you go out or looking to impress your friends when you stay in? Unsure where to start? Don't want to go over the top, but you do want something unique, try out this earthy and refreshing cocktail. It marries the traditional pairing of fresh lime and a delicious Gin, with a hint of some sweetness. You can ask your bartender to make this if he has time, but he surely won't have heard of it yet.
Gin Drop
Build in a shaker full of Ice
- 3oz Gin ( Tanquery, Hendrick's, Bombay Saphire)
- Juice of half of a juicy lime
- 1/2 oz of watermelon pucker ( more if you like)
- Shake and serve as one martini or as two to three shots.
For Home Bartenders, this is an awesome recipe to add to your bag of tricks because most good home bars will already have everything for this recipe except the Watermelon Pucker, which is both cheap and readily available in most liquor stores in full bottles or in tiny airplane bottles for the non-comital type. It is nice NOT to have to buy a bunch of new ingredients just to try a new drink, and it also nice to acquire a new cocktail for your bar at home for less than the cost of one at the pub.
