Gordon's Cup
The Gordon’s Cup is featured in the book A Spot at the Bar and it’s an incredibly simple cocktail that screams spring! It’s so refreshing and fresh that you may have a hard time drinking it slowly. The cucumber and lime are a perfect pairing and our vibrant Raspberry Coriander shrub plays off of the overall brightness perfectly. This cocktail is perfect right now, but would not disappoint in the heat of summer either. The salt and pepper garnish may sound strange but take our word for it that it’s the essential extra touch that cucumber needs.
