• 1.5 oz of Cognac
• .75 oz lime juice
• .75 oz simple simple
• .25 oz of Velvet Falernum
• 1 oz of ginger beer
• 3-4 cucumber slices (reserve 1 for garnish)
• 6-8 leaves of mint

In a shaker tin muddle the cucumber and mint with the simple syrup. Add the cognac, lime juice, and falernum and shake with ice for 30secs. Strain into a Tom Collins glass with fresh ice and top with ginger beer. Gently stir and garnish with cucumber and mint

My wife LOVES this drink! (Not surprised) It’s a more robust version of another drink she really likes called the easy street that swaps the falernum for elderflower, lime for lemon and gin instead of cognac. I personally like this more than the easy street.

This will be going onto the standing menu as a variation on the easy street
