The Juliet and Romeo
Apparently named for the cucumber and rose aspects of the cocktail, the Juliet and Romeo is a rather surprisingly pleasing mix of gin, lime, mint, cucumber and rosewater.
Ingredients
- 2 oz gin
- 3/4 oz lime juice
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- 6 mint sprigs
- 3 slices peeled cucumber
- Pinch of salt
- 3 drops of rosewater
- 3 drops Angostura bitters
Instructions
- In a mixing glass or shaker, muddle the cucumber with the salt
- Add ice and all other ingredients
- Shake for 15 seconds to release the oils in the mint
- Serve up, garnished with a single floating mint leaf into which you add another drop of rosewater
