I whipped up an Eastside cocktail this evening. It’s my favorite summer cocktail.

• 2 slices Cucumber • 7 Mint Leaves • 2 oz. Gin • 3/4 oz. Simple Syrup* • 1 oz. Lime Juice fresh

• Muddle everything together in a cocktail shaker, throw in some ice cubes, shake thoroughly, and pour it into a rocks glass.

Cheers!
