Zucchini Tini

1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) zucchini water (see note below)

In a cocktail shaker, combine the zucchini water, sake and gin. Fill the shaker with ice, then shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the zucchini slice.

Note: To make zucchini water, grate a large zucchini into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl, then toss the grated zucchini with a pinch of coarse salt and allow it to sit for 15 minutes.
