Eastside is a subtle change to the popular southside cocktail. The only difference is the muddled cucumbers which gives its a more refreshing taste. We are also making the Eastside cocktail with our Bright Night Pink Gin to give it extra fruity flavour.
Eastside Cocktail Ingredients:
- 2 oz (60 ml) Bright Night Pink Gin
- 1 oz (30 ml) lemon or lime juice
- 1 oz (30 ml)Â simple syrup
- 8-12 mint leaves
- Half a cucumber diced
- 1 mint sprig for garnish
How to make Eastside Cocktail
- Dice half a cucumber and muddle in the shaker
- Pour lemon/lime juice in a shaker
- Gently muddle the juice with 8-10 mint leaves (you can break the mint leaves so squeeze our more flavour).
- Combine it with Bright Night Gin and simple syrup
- Add ice and give it a good shake
- Strain it to your glass ( You can double strain if you don’t want any small mint leaves in the drink), we like the texture so we are only single straining
- Garnish with a mint sprig
Eastside cocktail pro tip:
Clap the mint leaves before tearing them/ putting them in the shaker to get our more flavour
