A Note from Feedfeed

We are keeping cool this Summer with this refreshing cucumber gin cocktail. For a delicious mocktail, skip the gin and add some more club soda.

ingredients

  • 6 thick slices of cucumber
  • 10-12 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • 2 ounces dry gin
  • Club soda
  • Mint sprig for garnish
  • thinner slices of cucumber for glass garnish

Method

  • Step 1

    Thinly slice 5-6 cucumber coins and gently press them into the side of a lowball cocktail glass. The moisture in the cucumber should help them stick. (If the glass is too curved, it may not work.)

  • Step 2

    In a cocktail shaker, muddle 6 thicker slices of cucumber and 10-12 mint leaves.

  • Step 3

    Add 2oz gin and 2oz lime juice to shaker

  • Step 4

    Strain into your cucumber-lined glass that’s been filled with ice

  • Step 5

    Top with club soda. Gently whack another bunch of fresh mint on your counter to release the aromas, then use as garnish. Enjoy!
