Joyce of Hillhouse Instructions

The Joyce of Hillhouse is a delightful cocktail that combines the refreshing taste of cucumber with the sweet and tangy flavors of lime and elderflower. Named after a beloved bartender at the iconic Hillhouse Inn, this cocktail is perfect for those warm summer nights or any time you want to indulge in a delicious and unique drink.

To make a Joyce of Hillhouse, you will need a few simple ingredients and a shaker. Start by muddling fresh cucumber slices in the bottom of the shaker to release their crisp and refreshing flavor. Add a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice for a tangy kick and a splash of elderflower liqueur for a sweet and floral note.

Next, fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously to combine all of the ingredients. This will help to chill the cocktail and ensure that the flavors are well mixed. Once you've shaken the mixture, strain it into a chilled glass and garnish with a cucumber slice or a sprig of mint.

The result is a beautifully balanced cocktail that is both refreshing and sophisticated. The cucumber adds a crisp and cool element, while the lime juice provides a tangy and zesty kick. The elderflower liqueur adds a touch of sweetness and floral complexity, making this cocktail truly unique and memorable.

Whether you're sipping a Joyce of Hillhouse at a glamorous cocktail party or enjoying one on your porch, this recipe is sure to impress. Its vibrant flavors and elegant presentation make it the perfect drink for any occasion.
