Cucumber & Kiwi Gimlet !
Ingredients:
β’2 ounces gin
β’1/2 cucumber, cut
β’1 tbsp lime juice
β’2 ounces kiwi simple syrup, recipe in post
β’1 cup ice, to shake with
Instructions:
In a cocktail shaker add in all of the ingredients.
Gently muddle cucumber.
Fill with ice and shake really well for at least 35 seconds. The more you shake and let the ice dissolved the better.
Strain into a coup or tall thin glass
Kiwi Simple Syrup:
For the kiwi syrup, we used 1 cup of organic sugar and 1 cup water with 4 sliced kiwis, peel removed.
Syrups are really easy to make and you can see our guide to making them here. Basically, you just bring the sugar and water to a soft boil until sugar is dissolved. Add in the kiwi and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Then remove from heat and let it all sit for another 30 mins so the kiwi flavor infuses.
I pour it through a mesh sieve and then into a glass bottle to store. You can make a lot of recipes with homemade simple syrups!
