Bitter Maid

Select and pre-chill a cocktail coupe.

Prepare a fresh mint leaf for garnish.

Muddle the cucumber at the base of a shaker, ensuring the skin is removed beforehand for optimal flavor extraction.

Add the Hayman's London Dry Gin, Amaro, freshly squeezed lime juice, orgeat syrup, aniseed liqueur, and mint leaves into the shaker.

Shake the mixture vigorously with ice to chill and blend the ingredients.

Fine strain the cocktail into the pre-chilled coupe glass to achieve a smooth finish.

Garnish with the prepared mint leaf for a refreshing aromatic touch.
