This is so good. Love the flavor combo.
Sapphire EAST Cucumber Cocktail with Almond
(created by mixologist Gem Yamamoto of Brushstroke)
60 ml Sapphire EAST (about 2 ounces)
18ml Fresh lime juice (just over half an ounce)
Japanese cucumber
3 tsp simple syrup (60% sugar/40% water mix)
A pinch of Sicilian sea salt
A pinch of roasted almond powder
Directions: Muddle cucumber and lightly shake all of the above. Pour in to Rock Glass. Sea salt, roasted coarse ground almond and ground pepper mix on the rim. Roasted almond crunch and cucumber for garnish. (My personal opinion: It may sound fussy, but the sea salt, almond, and ground pepper rim takes this drink to the next level.)
