This next cocktail was inspired by The Hobbit movie. @cocktail.alchemists are having a competition based on The Lord Of The Rings franchise. I thought I’d put this drink as my submission for it. I personally liked the main antagonist, Smaug, the greedy dragon.
Since Benedict Cumberbatch voiced Smaug in the live-action movie, I decided to use gin as my liquor base, and made a cucumber hibiscus syrup. I used lemon juice and @campariusa for some added citrus, and a hot pepper shrub for complexity and heat. Enjoy!
