Little brother Bobby came over the other day with a bottle of Hendrick's gin and A bottle of Canton. We made some pretty good cocktails and shots. My mom bought me a really sweet glass shaker for my birthday so first we made martinis with some strawberries, limes and equal parts Canton and Hendrick's, shake the life out of it. Good martinis should have a nice balance of sweetness, alcohol, and water. The melted ice tames the drink and makes straight liquor drinkable. Second we made Hendrick's recipe gin and tonics. I shook two parts gin with some grated cucumber and ice, strain over ice, add one part tonic. Cucumber slices for garnish. These were both delicious and we all had a nice little buzz!
