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.

¹⁄₂

Lime, sliced

2 slices

Cucumber

Mint leaves

2 oz

Vodka

Soda water

³⁄₄ oz

Honey-hibiscus syrup*

Garnish:

Cucumber wheel

Glass:

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.

Remove from heat, add 1 hibiscus tea bag, and let cool.

Remove the tea bag and store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
