The perfect warm-weather brunch accompaniment.
We’re a sucker for a good brunch cocktail, and this fizzy, gin- and honeydew-spiked smash from Bay Area drink creator Chris Lane is the perfect warm-weather accompaniment to backyard breakfast spreads. “Summertime in San Francisco can’t be beat,” says Lane, “unless, of course, you add in some picnic provisions and a few good drinks.”
Muddle the honeydew and cucumber in the base of a shaker with gin, lemon juice, honey syrup and Curaçao. Add egg white and dry shake. Add ice cubes and shake for 8 seconds. Double-strain into a Collins glass filled with ice cubes, top with seltzer and garnish.
