Let me tell you something right now: I VASTLY prefer Employee’s Only’s Cucumber Retrograde cocktail to Mercury Retrograde. But then again, who wouldn’t? That being said, this is just the drink to get you through Mercury Retrograde (next up May 10- June 3).

The Cucumber Retrograde is some strong stuff, deceptively strong. Don’t be texting after a few of these! Here’s how to make it:
Cucumber Retrograde:
1 oz Bombay Sapphire
1 oz cucumber syrup
.50 oz basil brandy eau de vi
.25 jalapeño infused chartreuse

Says head bartender Adriana Ramos, “This cocktail was made to sooth the masses. Cucumber and tajin is a very big cultural thing in LA and Mexico. Lime spice and cucumber has always been a tasty snack and we decided to turn it into a tasty drink.”
