Ingredients
- ✓1.5 oz London dry gin
- ✓0.75 oz fresh lime juice
- ✓0.5 oz simple syrup
- ✓3 oz lemon-lime seltzer
- ✓1 slice fresh lime or cucumber wheel
- ✓1 cup crushed ice
Instructions
Fill a highball or large wine glass generously with crushed ice to keep the drink ultra-chilled.
💡 Tip: Chilling the glass in the freezer beforehand keeps the drink cold even longer.
Pour the dry gin, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup directly over the ice.
💡 Tip: You can adjust the simple syrup down to 0.25 oz if you prefer a drier cocktail.
Top the glass with the lemon-lime seltzer and gently stir with a bar spoon to combine the layers without losing carbonation.
💡 Tip: Stir gently from the bottom up to lift the syrup.
Garnish the rim of the glass with a fresh lime slice or cucumber wheel and serve immediately.
💡 Tip: Slapping a fresh mint sprig and adding it as a garnish adds a beautiful aromatic touch.
📝 Chef's Notes
To serve a crowd, scale up the ingredients in a large pitcher, adding the seltzer and ice only at the moment of serving to maintain the fizz.
