Gin & Treuse

Gin & Treuse is a refreshing new cocktail from the Whippoorwill Lounge that pays homage to Spring. This unique drink plays off the fresh flavor of mint that is sprouting for the season in gardens and on the Mountain. The recipe draws inspiration from the "alpine" and "fresh herbal" quality of green chartreuse, which is made in the mountains of Voiron, France from over 130 herbs, roots and flowers.

Recipe

  • 2 cucumber slices
  • 1 mint sprig
  • .25oz simple syrup
  • .5oz lime juice
  • 1oz Green Chartreuse
  • 1oz Hendricks gin
  • Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic (or tonic of your choice)

Muddle one cucumber slice and three mint leaves with the lime juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add the spirits, and shake for 10 seconds.

Double strain into a rocks glass onto fresh ice, and top with tonic. Garnish your drink with a mint topper and cucumber wheel.

Get into the spirit of Spring, and enjoy a refreshing cocktail from the comfort of your own home!
