3.6 / 5
The cocktail named "Google" is a refreshing and aromatic mix that's perfect for those who enjoy herbaceous and botanical infusions. Serving as a delightful play on the classic Gin and Tonic, the Google cocktail is disciplined for its simplicity. It highlights the juniper notes of the gin with the fresh, clean taste of mint leaves and the subtle, cool accent of cucumber. The effervescence of soda water lends a sparkling finish, making it ideal for sipping on a warm day or as a sophisticated palate cleanser. Served in a lowball glass, this cocktail offers a modern twist on gin-based drinks and is a testament to the versatility of its few, yet carefully chosen ingredients.

FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

A sprig of fresh mint or a thin slice of cucumber makes an excellent garnish for the Google cocktail. These garnishes not only add to the visual appeal but also enhance the drink's refreshing qualities.

Preparation techniques icon
