CUCUMBER BASIL TONIC
Hana Colvin | Director of Culinary Excellence | Corporate The distinctive botanicals and bright, piney notes of gin have always made it my favorite spirit. This mocktail draws on those same flavors - the cool sweetness of cucumber and the herbal lift of basil, all brightened with a hefty punch of lime. Add a splash of Tanqueray and it becomes my favorite cocktail, but as written, it’s a crisp, refreshing way to unwind at the end of a long day. Fresh lime juice is a must here, and if you add extra, well that is just extra good!
