SIGNATURE DRINK» The Bathtub

AN UNUSUAL “GLASS” MAKES THIS DRINK THE HIT OF ANY EVENT.

The signature cocktail for River North speakeasy-style lounge Bassment is probably one of the most unusual drinks you’ve ever seen. Yet classic ingredients and a housemade cucumber syrup with a hint of heat are universally appealing. “This cocktail is a fun play on bathtub gin [a term for homemade spirits],” says its creator Greg Innocent, beverage director at Parker Restaurant Group, which owns Bassment. “It was meant to allow people to drink a fun cocktail, [as well as] post on all social media outlets … #forthegram.” —Kelsey Ogletree INGREDIENTS —2 oz.
