Gin has always been good friends with elderflower but it is less well known that it also gets on with cucumber, try a slice next time in your G & T. This recipe combines the two flavours with a refreshingly fruity and light creation.
- 1/4 cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 12.5 ml Elderflower cordial
- 50 ml Gin
- 25 ml quality apple juice
Muddle the chopped cucumber and elderflower cordial in a cocktail shaker to release all the cucumbers juices and flavours. Then add the gin, apple juice and some ice and shake vigorously to chill. Double strain into a chilled Martini glass. Can be decorated with cucumber slices on the rim.
