The Modern Martini image

This lime- and cilantro-infused cocktail will appeal to both Gimlet and Martini drinkers. We like to use Tanqueray for its strong juniper and spice profile.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons sugar
1 750-milliliter bottle London dry gin
3 cups fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
8 lime twists or rounds

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and 2 tablespoons hot water in a large jar, cover, and shake until sugar is dissolved. Add gin, cilantro, and lime juice (save gin bottle for finished product). Cover and chill 2 days. Strain into a medium bowl; discard cilantro. Pour cilantro-lime gin back into reserved bottle.
  • For each cocktail, pour 3 ounces cilantro-lime gin into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Cover; shake until cocktail shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled Martini glass and garnish with lime.
  • DO AHEAD: Cilantro-Lime Gin can be made 1 month ahead. Keep chilled.
