Cocktail of The Week

This week’s cocktail is perfect for sipping on a warm summers’ evening. It comes from the Gilbert Scott Bar and was created by their talented Bar Manager, Dav Eames. A personal favourite of Marcus Wareing’s it combines fresh cucumber, elderflower and pear vodka to create a refreshing delight!

A-Pear-itif

50g cucumber, chopped

50ml Grey Goose La Poire vodka

50ml Bombay Sapphire Gin

50ml Elderflower Cordial

50ml Fresh lime juice

ice cubes

To Garnish:

2 Long, thin cucumber strips

Muddle the cucumber with the vodka in a cocktail shaker. Alternatively use the end of a rolling pin in a large container to gently pound the cucumber and vodka together. Add the remaining ingredients, shake well and strain into two coupette glasses. Garnish each with a cucumber wrapped ice cube.
