Today, I share the 2023 Stitches West Cocktail. ๐Ÿน (I’m the lead and entire contingent of the committee for this decision, btw.) ๐Ÿน Enjoyed with @jazzturtle at The Shady Lady, it is called a White Linen and is served by the carafe. The implication being that it’s better with a friend. ๐Ÿน This is - essentially - a gin and tonic with a splash of Elderflower Liqueur, and some simple syrup (if you want to- I don’t). ๐Ÿน It’s delicious and refreshing- though, in our house, we skip the simple syrup. ๐Ÿน The recipe: 5 ice cubes Juice from 1 lemon 2 oz Hendrick’s gin 1 oz Elderflower liqueur 2-3 oz Tonic water Simple syrup to taste Cucumber slices (for garnish and deliciousness) ๐Ÿน Bรฉ salamati! (Cheers, to your health) to line break
