EMERALD ISLE
Created to incorporate the seasonally grown herbs from our rooftop garden, this unique cocktail is one of my summertime favorites. The pot still Irish gin has a soft and floral profile, so if you're unable to procure it, I would go with one of the recently released lower-alcohol gins of your choice, steering clear of juniper-heavy renditions. The ingredients complement each other so well, you can't help but taste something distinctive and different in every sip. It's a must-try.

Tips:
- For a smoother martini, chill the vodka and Midori in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before making the drink.
- If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. Let the syrup cool completely before using.
- To make a layered martini, pour the vodka and Midori into the glass first, then carefully pour the lime juice on top. This will create a beautiful two-tone effect.
- Garnish the martini with a lime wedge or a twist of lime zest for a finishing touch.
