Mary Garden Cocktail Instructions
The Mary Garden Cocktail is a refreshing and beautiful drink that is perfect for any spring or summer gathering. It combines the flavors of citrus and herbs to create a unique and vibrant cocktail that is sure to impress your guests.
To make the Mary Garden Cocktail, you will need a few simple ingredients and some basic bartending skills. First, gather your ingredients: gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and a handful of fresh herbs such as mint, basil, or rosemary. You will also need a shaker filled with ice and a strainer.
To start, muddle a few leaves of the fresh herbs in the bottom of the shaker. This will release their essential oils and infuse the cocktail with their flavors. Then, add 2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of lime juice, and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup to the shaker. Shake well to combine the ingredients and chill the cocktail.
Once the cocktail is well chilled, strain it into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs and a twist of lime peel for an extra touch of elegance. The result is a beautiful and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for sipping on a warm summer evening.
The Mary Garden Cocktail is a versatile drink that can be easily customized to suit your personal tastes. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can add a splash of fruit juice or a drizzle of honey to the mix. Alternatively, if you like your cocktails on the drier side, you can skip the simple syrup altogether.
Whether you are hosting a spring garden party or just looking for a new cocktail to try, the Mary Garden Cocktail is a great choice. Its combination of bright flavors and beautiful presentation make it a crowd-pleasing option that is sure to impress. So grab your shaker and get mixing – your guests will thank you!
