　　Created to incorporate the seasonally grown herbs from our rooftop garden, this unique cocktail is one of my summertime favorites. The pot still Irish gin has a soft and floral profile, so if you’re unable to procure it, I would go with one of the recently released lower-alcohol gins of your choice, steering clear of juniper-heavy renditions. The ingredients complement each other so well, you can’t help but taste something distinctive and different in every sip. It’s a must-try.

Ingredients

　　3 cucumber slices

　　10 fresh tarragon leaves

　　1 1/2 ounces Dingle Irish pot still gin

　　1/2 ounce Bushmills Black Bush Irish whiskey

　　3/4 ounce Cocchi Americano aperitif

　　1 ounce grapefruit juice

　　Add cucumber and tarragon to mixing glass and muddle well. Add remaining ingredients. Add ice and shake well. Fine-strain into chilled cocktail glass.
