Pepino Especial

Hendrick’s Gin has more of an herbal flavor and less on the juniper.  There is a hint of cucumber.  It’s one of those subtle nuances that I would never have picked up on if not told it was there.  But this “hint of cucumber” has brought forth a plethora of “Cucumber and Hendrick’s” drinks.  They all taste a lot like cucumber to me, which is fine in a salad, but one that I find less than appealing in a cocktail.  I came up with this drink that combines the herbal flavors of Hendrick’s, St. Germaine and Chartreuse with cardamom and cucumber.  The cucumber is muddled just enough by the ice cubes.

  • 1 ½ oz. Hendrick’s Gin
  • ¾ oz. Chartreuse
  • ¾ oz. St Germaine Elderflower Liqueur
  • ½ oz. Cardamom Syrup
  • 2 slices of cucumber
  • 1 oz. Lemon Sour
  • Dash of rhubarb bitters
  1. Chill an old fashioned glass with ice and water
  2. Add all ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice cubes
  3. Shake well with ice 10 – 15 sec.
  4. Strain into chilled glass over fresh ice
  5. Garnish with cucumber slice

The spice in the rye goes well with the herbal elements of the St. Germain and bitterness of the Aperol.  You can cut the St. Germain down to 1/4 oz, but you will need to reduce the bitters as well.

  • 1 1/2 oz Rye Whiskey
  • 3/4 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
  • 3/4 oz Aperol
  • 1-2 dashes rhubarb bitters
