Before the boots, plaid and cider, let's raise our glasses to a wonderful summer filled with memories sure to last a lifetime. This cocktail brings to mind long days at the beach, colorful fireworks filling the summer sky and the juiciest watermelon imaginable- I give you, The Lemon Verbena Cocktail.
The Lemon Verbena Cocktail is a light and refreshing cocktail, a perfect farewell to summer. The use of crushed ice is crucial to creating the delicious overall effect. Enjoy!
Lemon Verbena Cocktail
1/2 cup fresh lemon verbena
1/2 of a lemon
2 tbsp. simple syrup
2-3 ounces gin
club soda
Muddle verbena, lemon and simple syrup in the bottom of a tall Collins glass. Add the gin. Put crushed ice on top of the mixture and top off with club soda. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
