250ml Cucumber Juice
10ml Gin
50g Sugar
1.6g Special Ingredients Sodium Alginate
50ml Gin
35ml Suspension Syrup
25ml Fresh Lime Juice
Blend all the ingredients together until the liquid thickens a little.
Pass the mixture through a sieve or muslin to remove air bubbles
Use a pipette or syringe to make caviar pearls by dropping the cucumber mixture into a calcium bath (See the Calcium Bath Recipe on our website)
Allow the caviar to react for thirty seconds then remove with a slotted spoon and rinse in a bath of fresh water.
Use as soon as possible after making.
Pour the gin, lime juice and suspension syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Stir to chill then strain the drink into a glass.
Stir a few of the cucumber pearls into the mixed drink and garnish with borage flowers.
