A perfect summery sip, the Cucumber Gin Cocktail is a refreshing cocktail and a delightful summer cocktail that demands a toast! Eastern Shore Honey concocts an elegant rosemary-infused syrup to sweeten cucumbers and lemons: light yet refreshing. Serve it on your patio as you watch the sun slowly set or by a dock overlooking gentle waves — blissful enjoyment awaits.
My husband is one of the original Hendricks Gin drinkers, and while he prefers it stirred and up, he enjoys this cocktail. Hendricks already includes a cucumber essence. Herbal cocktails have a special place at the table. They aren’t too sweet or bitter; they’re earthy and refreshing.
The sweet taste of our Cranberry Honey would compliment this cocktail perfectly!
Cocktail with Hendricks Gin: How Rosemary Lends Its Strong Flavor and Magical Aroma
The shrubby plants are elementary to grow and can get reasonably large under the right conditions: this is a good thing, though, because it means that you’ll always have plenty to use in your cooking!
In addition to rosemary, incorporating fresh cucumber into your gin cocktail can create a refreshing and invigorating drink.
