The Deep Cleanse is a spring cocktail that was created at FIG, a restaurant and bar in Santa Monica, California. The recipe pairs the crisp botanicals of gin with refreshing aloe vera juice, simple syrup for sweetness, sour citrus for balance, and cooling cucumber to create a revitalizing seasonal drink.
Add two cucumber slices and simple syrup to a shaker.
Using a muddler, gently muddle for 5-7 seconds.
Add gin, aloe vera juice, and lime juice to shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer, strain into a martini or coupe glass.
Garnish with remaining cucumber slice.
