I’ve always loved the combination of cucumbers and Greek yogurt. Working at a Mediterranean restaurant I knew I wanted to incorporate something on the menu using these ingredients with a nice botanical gin and Greek ouzo. This is one of the drinks that can scare guests, but they always end up getting a second.

Muddle Cucumber slices. Add all ingredients and shake with ice. Double strain in a Nick & Nora glass. Lemon express and discard. Dill garnish Cucumber syrup is equal parts cucumber and sugar by weight with a tablespoon of fresh dill. Mix and let sit for 24 hours and strain.

Editor's Note

Cucumber and dill meet Greek yogurt and ouzo in this savory, Mediterranean-inspired sour. A bold, botanical-forward sipper that defies expectations.
