"Cocktail Friday No. 26! All of January I’m sharing non-alcoholic drink recipes, and this week’s is refreshing!
Virgin Cucumber Gimlet—an N/A drink that does a fabulous job of disguising itself as a cocktail. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think there was booze in this one!
Of course, if you want to make it boozy, I recommend adding vodka or gin."

- 1 teaspoon agave, honey or simple syrup

Step 1
Muddle cucumber chunks in a cocktail shaker until completely smashed. Add lime juice and agave, fill shake with ice and shake vigorously until chilled. Strain drink into a rocks glass filled with ice, top with club soda and give it a quick stir. Garnish with skewered cucumber ribbon.
Step 2
To make a cucumber ribbon, use a vegetable peeler to peel lengthwise down the cucumber, you’ll need to make a few peels until you get a nice thick peel from the center of the cucumber. Fold cucumber ribbon back and forth into an accordion, then skewer with a cocktail skewer or toothpick.
