The Mr. Plant

Description:

This assertively cool drink created by mixologist Beau du Bois at the sleek Riot House bar in West Hollywood (RHWesthollywood.com) combines gin, agave, cucumber and freshly juiced tangerine. It’s the perfect way to kick back and chill out on a hot summer day. The Riot House, or “RH” was a nickname coined in the 70s when the hotel (which has since been redone under luxury ownership) was a favorite spot for rambunctious rock
stars. —LILLY KUWASHIMA

Ingredients: 1 1⁄2 ounces No. 209 gin
1⁄2 ounce agave syrup (can be purchased online)
1 freshly juiced tangerine
2 cucumber wheels
Splash of soda water
Directions: Muddle cucumber, tangerine juice, agave and ice in a tin shaker. Add gin and shake for 30 seconds. Strain into a lowball glass filled with ice. Top with soda. Garnish with thinly sliced cucumber wheels.
