Out of appreciation for St. Patrick's day, I've chosen to disclose this overly cool and too yummy cucumber gin mixed drink. What I adore most about this beverage (and what makes it unique in relation to most formulas you'll discover on the web) is that it is made with crisp cucumber juice. Try not to misunderstand me, I adore a hardened beverage, yet there is something overly invigorating about cucumber squeeze that takes this most loved to another dimension.
The estimations for this formula are for 1 mixed drink. We utilize Hendrick's nevertheless this will function admirably with different sorts. In the event that you don't have a juicer, that is fine. Invest some additional energy tangling; you'll have less substance of cucumber yet you can at present receive some juice in return.

- 1.5oz cucumber juice
- 3-4 cucumber slices, plus more for garnish (as pictured)
- 1/4 lime
- 3-4 mint leaves
- 2.5-3oz tonic water
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, for the sweet tooth
Steps
- Cut your cucumber slices using a mandolin. For the muddling cucumbers, cut circles; for garnish, cut long slices as pictured.
- Lightly muddle mint leaves, cucumber slices and lime wedge in a shaker (light enough that the cucumber stays mostly in tact – you get plenty of cucumber flavor from the juice itself).
