I have a friend who calls me a “one trick pony” because I’ll add cardamom to anything. Recipes like this prove me right.

Suz

Same here. I love cardamom.

CS.

I added a little grapefruit zest, squeezed one slice of grapefruit juice into the cocktail and added an dash of simple syrup

Fever tree cucumber tonic water, Hendricks, a big squeeze of lime, and a couple of slices of cucumber. Yummy!
