Method

Step 1

Using a jigger, measure all ingredients other than the grapefruit sofa and add them, along with the muddled herbs, to an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake until the surface of the shaker is cold to touch.

Step 2

Strain into a Copa glass and add grapefruit soda.

Step 3

Garnish with cucumber and any other garnish of your choice.

Grab a bite

Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
