When that summer sun is beaming down and rosé has called your name maybe one too many times, we have the ABSOLUTE BEST COCKTAIL in the world for you to try: Peter’s Garden Cocktail.
If you like refreshing, herb-driven adult beverages that aren’t too sweet… then this one’s for you! We first sipped the effervescent delight poolside at the gorgeous 5-star Pleta de Mar property in Mallorca, Spain. The restaurant manager, Peter, recommended it, and their ‘Champion of Cocktails’ bartender masterfully whipped up a few glasses for us gals. The drink was met with unanimous, eye-popping, ‘we’ll have another round right now’ approval. So, without further adieu, we refer you to the recipe below for what we GUARANTEE will be your go-to cocktail drank of the summer… slash forever!
Peter’s Summer-Garden Cocktail Recipe:
Fresh Basil + Fresh Mint +1.5 cl (.50 oz) Citrus syrup, mashed and muddled
Add 5 cl (1.7 oz) of Gin Mare (Super premium Spanish gin, or any fave gin!)
