About The Joan Collins Cocktail

This drink is delicately pink and 100 percent spa day, which is exactly how I imagine the life and times of Joan Collins.

Lime, sliced

2 slices

Cucumber

Mint leaves

Vodka

Soda water

³⁄₄ oz

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lime, cucumber and mint.

Add the syrup and vodka with plenty of ice, and shake until chilled.

Strain over ice into a Collins glass, and top with soda water. Serve with a cucumber wheel for garnish.

*Honey-hibiscus syrup: Bring 1/2 cup of honey and 1/2 cup of water to simmer, stirring to incorporate.
