Chef's notes
*Gin notes:
Hendrick’s is perfect for this cocktail since it has notes of cucumber and rose petal. I don’t recommend using a classic dry gin for this drink, unless you really love it.
Recommended equipment:
I love this stainless steel jigger for measuring small amounts of liquids. This citrus juicer is my favorite.
