The Georgian cocktail

1.5 oz Aviation gin (you could use Hendrick's if you want more cucumber, Plymouth, or a clean London dry, but I like the floral notes in the Aviation)
3/4 tsp simple syrup
1 dash Angostura bitters
4 dashes cucumber bitters
1 small pinch of salt.

Stir with ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a cucumber.
