Having acquired an essential ingredient in the Deadrise, I find myself without another: the cucumber. Well, there’s nothing to it then but to make the necessary sacrifice and drink the result anyway.
Oh, this is good. This is very good. (And without the cucumber it does not give me gas!)
In the back of Speakeasy (Ten Speed Press, 2010) there is a recipe for lime cordial.
As I also do not have Kaffir lime leaves, this prompted the substitution given below.
Untitled
- .75 oz. lime juice
- .75 oz. agave syrup
- 1.5 oz. Hendrick’s Gin
- 2 dashes Fee Brothers grapefruit bitters
In a mixing glass, stir well to combine the lime juice and agave syrup. Add the gin and bitters, then shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.
