Diplomat Cocktail

This cocktail is like a dreamy pink lemonade from your childhood but with a grownup spirit.

Recipe Summary Diplomat Cocktail

This popular summery cocktail from the Vig Bar in New York City has a delightfully fresh flavor, thanks to plenty of fresh cucumber, a little lime juice, and some elderflower liqueur.

Ingredients | Single Cocktail

3 cubes ice

4 thick slices fresh cucumber

1 dash lime juice

1 dash simple syrup

¾ cup ice

2 fluid ounces gin (such as Hendrick's)

1 fluid ounce elderflower liqueur (such as St. Germain®)

1 slice cucumber for garnish

1 splash club soda

Directions

Place 3 ice cubes into a pint glass. Place 4 thick cucumber slices into glass, top with lime juice and simple syrup, and muddle thoroughly until cucumber pieces are juicy and broken up, about 10 seconds.

Fill pint glass about 3/4 full of ice; pour gin and elderflower liqueur over ice. Shake gently and strain into a cocktail glass. Add 1 or 2 small pieces of muddled cucumber. Garnish with 1 slice of cucumber and add splash of club soda. Serve with straw.
