Green Gin Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients

	PREP TIME 10m	TOTAL TIME 10m
YIELD 1 cocktail

Using a box grater, finely grate the dark green skin of bitter melon into a large bowl lined with cheesecloth.
Gather the edges of the cheesecloth together and twist to squeeze the juice from the bitter melon pulp.
Pour 1 tablespoon of the bitter melon juice into a cocktail shaker and save the rest for more cocktails.
Add simple syrup, lime juice, and gin to the shaker, fill with ice cubes, and cover.
Shake until well-chilled, about 15 seconds, and pour into a tall glass filled with ice.
Top the cocktail with soda water and stir gently to combine.
Garnish with a lime wheel just before serving.
