Cucumber Gimlet

Intro & Description

Cucumber cocktails are the epitome of refreshing: light, summery and hydrating. Gimlets are composed of gin, lime juice and a touch of sweetener. Something magical happens when these basic ingredients are shaken with ice and strained into a glass.

This naturally sweetened cucumber cocktail is perfect for warm days.

• 1 Tablespoon sugar

Recipe Notes

Using martini glasses will give that authentic gimlet feel.

Gin haters, you can substitute vodka, but gin is really lovely with this cocktail.

Substitute basil for mint, and/or add a little splash of elderflower liqueur, and/or muddle some fresh jalapeño with the cucumber.
