- 2 oz of Grey Goose
- 1 oz of Lime & Cardamom Oleo Saccharum
- 1 oz of Fresh pressed lime juice
- 3 drops of Angostura bitters
- INGREDIENTS FOR THE OLEO SACCHARUM
- 20 Limes
- 1L Sugar
- 90g of Split and crushed cardamom pods
- 1L Water
RECIPE
Pour all ingredients into a shaker except Watermelon & Hibiscus Soda and Angostura bitters. Dry shake (without ice) for 30 seconds then shake with ice. Fine strain ingredients into a double rocks glass and top with The Great Gentleman Watermelon & Hibiscus Soda. Add a few dashes of Angostura bitters and use a toothpick to create your design.
STEPS / METHOD TO FOLLOW FOR THE OLEO SACCHARUM
Zest the limes and put them in a Ziploc bag with the sugar and cardamom pods. Shake. Let the mix sit for 24 hours. The sugar will dissolve as it pulls the essential oils from the zest. Pour the mix into a large heat-resistant bowl, add boiling water and mix it all together. Let sit for 15 minutes and strain. Keep limes and use the juice for drinks!
