Sgt. Pepper
While I love making drinks that are clearly food-inspired, I also love making a simple 4-5 ingredient drink that I can quickly make for a group. Simple doesn’t have to mean boring, and this one is packed with flavor. The ingredients just seem made for each other: a spicy and refreshing syrup with habanero and cucumber; an intensely flavorful gin with notes of cilantro, cucumber, lime, and more; and a poblano chili liqueur that brings more vegetal pepper and spice. Bring in some lime juice and a bit of soda water, and you have a thirst-quenching drink that is great for the patio or with dinner. Check out the details below if you want a discount on some of the ingredients!
Recipe
2oz Sam Miguel Old Harbor Gin
0.5oz Cucumber habanero syrup
0.5oz Ancho Reyes Verde
0.75oz lime juice
Soda water
Shake first four ingredients until chilled and strain into highball glass with fresh ice. Top with soda, garnish with fresh cucumber. Cheers!!
