Maryse Chevriere
New to the spring menu at Five Leaves in Brooklyn, this is one "sexy salad cocktail." Refreshing and tart with a touch of earthiness and pepper from the muddled arugula, it's one of those too-easy-to-drink-quickly drinks.
Ingredients
- 2 slices cucumber
- 8 arugula leaves, plus 3 extra for garnish
- 2 ½ ounces Bison Grass Vodka
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- ¾ ounce simple syrup
- Ice
Directions
Muddle the cucumber and arugula in a mixing glass. Add the other ingredients and shake hard.
Double strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a few arugula leaves.
