The Ghazal
By ROSIE SCHAAP
I created this drink, which is named after the ancient Persian poetic form, to pair with Middle Eastern snacks. Rosewater enhances the cucumber-and-rose infusion in Hendrick’s gin. A good measure of fresh lime juice brightens it up with acidity, and mint adds more flavor.

5 parts Hendrick’s gin
1 part freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 part rosewater
Mint leaves.

1. Fill a mixing glass with ice and one mint leaf per serving.
2. Pour in the gin, lime juice and rosewater.
3. Stir for 30 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe and float mint leaves on top.
