How to make a Eastern Standard
Add ⅓ oz Rich Simple Syrup to a cocktail shaker, then 3 Cucumber Slices, 3 Fresh Mint Leaves, and muddle gently — enough to release the oils from the mint and dissolve the sugar, not enough to shred the leaves.
Add 1¾ oz Gin, ½ oz Fresh Lime Juice.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake hard for 10–12 seconds, until the tin is frosted and well chilled.
