Got too many greens? Make sure they don't go to waste with this garden-fresh cocktail. Arugula's spice stands up nicely to a traditional dry gin. You could also substitute an herbaceous gin and basil in place of the ingredients listed here.

- 2 ounces London Dry gin
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- 1 cup arugula
