WHAT

The London EDITION’s Dill or No Dill
A bit bitter and a bit sweet, the Dill or No Dill from the London EDITION hotel is a cocktail that will surely leave an impression. Maybe its the beautiful hue, or is it its crisp, fresh taste? You’ll just have to wrestle up the ingredients below and find out on your own.

HOW

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 oz. Tanqueray Gin
  • 0.5 oz. Elderflower cordial
  • 0.8 oz. Lemon juice

THEN

Muddle the cucumber and dill in a mixing tin. Add the other ingredients and shake with ice. Then strain into a Nick & Nora glass (or coupe) and garnish with a dill sprig on a mini clothes peg.
