The busy bee

By Jeanne Calitz

Serves 1

Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

4 T classic English gin
2 T salted cucumber juice
1 1⁄2 t fresh lemon juice
1 T honey water (mix equal parts honey and hot water)

Method

1. Shake well, then strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, sliced lemon or a slice of cucumber.

Cook's note: For the salted cucumber juice, juice one standard English cucumber. If you do this by blending or grating, then straining, you’ll get about 1⁄4 cup of juice. A juicer will deliver more liquid. Either way, add a pinch of salt and chill. And since you’re making a savoury cocktail, it goes without saying that you should put away the floral-heavy pink gin!
