Created to incorporate the seasonally grown herbs from our rooftop garden, this unique cocktail is one of my summertime favorites. The pot still Irish gin has a soft and floral profile, so if you’re unable to procure it, I would go with one of the recently released lower-alcohol gins of your choice, steering clear of juniper-heavy renditions. The ingredients complement each other so well, you can’t help but taste something distinctive and different in every sip. It’s a must-try.
