This is a super easy, refreshing, gin-based cocktail. The original calls for old Tom gin, but London dry works just as well.
PREPARATION TIME: Less than 30 mins
COOKING TIME: No cooking required
SERVES: 1
INGREDIENTS
- 2 handfuls ice
- 60ml Gin
- 30ml Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

- Strain the mixture into a collins glass over fresh ice using a hawthorne cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer. If you don’t have a strainer, any kitchen sieve will work just as well.
