I think I got close here but I know fresh pandan leaves would bring it to the next level. Anyone know if I can find some in Portland?! 🌱 Makes 1 Ingredients 2 oz. lemongrass infused gin .75 oz. pandan simple syrup 1 oz. lime juice .5 oz yuzu juice Ice Garnish: lime wheel or pandan leaf Make it! In a cocktail shaker add gin, pandan simple syrup, lime juice and yuzu juice with a handful of ice. Shake until cold, 15-20 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe or nick and nora glass. Garnish with a lime wheel or better yet, a pandan leaf! Lemongrass Infused Gin β€” wash a lemongrass stalk and slice in half longways. Using a spoon, whack the lemongrass to bruise it (so that it releases more flavor). Trim the ends to fit into a small glass bottle with a lid. Add lemongrass and fill with gin. Allow to infuse for at least 24 hours. Pandan Simple Syrup β€” add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Over medium heat, dissolve sugar and add 3 drops of pandan extract. It’s very strong and vibrant in color! If it seems too weak, add a drop or two more. Cool completely and bottle. #cocktail #cocktails #gimlet #pandandrink #pandan #lemongrass #yuzu #cocktailvideo #newzealand #rataqueenstown #drinks #drinkstagram #stpatricksday ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 4,929 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 79 ## Tags cocktails, pandan, cocktail, gimlet, drinks, rataqueenstown, yuzu, pandandrink, drinkstagram, newzealand, cocktailvideo, stpatricksday, lemongrass --- Copyright (c) Gondola
