the hypocrite
It's a surprise given my job that more of my recipes aren't for cocktails, but here you go. This one is a Frankenstein monster of a couple other recipes. It amuses me because it's equal parts hippie juice cleanse, Tom Collins, and mojito. I call it The Hypocrite.
1/2 of a cucumber
1+ inch piece of ginger root, peeled
3-4 sprigs of mint, removed from stems
juice of 1 lemon
2-3 cups water
2-3 shots of gin
handful of ice
If your blender is lame like mine you will probably want to chop the cucumber and ginger up a little bit before you get started. Then toss everything into a blender and blend until smooth. Serves 2... or obviously, yourself twice.
