So I went to this “speak easy” bar in Chinatown NYC, had some great drinks and snagged a menu as inspiration. You don't get the ratios, you don’t have all the weird ingredients but you make it your own. After some tweaking you get something really good. I’ve done this a couple of times and I sometimes even like my drink better. This drink is great for a warm day in the summer when you just want to relax, then have another one.
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ ounces of Vodka
- 1 drop of vanilla extract
- 2 dashes of Dram “hair of the dog” bitters
- ½ ounce of agave nectar
- ½ Lime
- 3 slices of cucumber
- 3-4 mint leaves
Muddle the cucumber and mint then add the rest of the ingredients. Shake it like crazy then double strain into your glass with a big ol Ice cube. garnish with a slice of cucumber a mint sprig or both.
