Cucumber Gimlet

I don't believe that this drink has any history and most people are off put from the idea of cucumber in a drink but after you try it your skepticism will be gone. We used to serve this at the restaurant that I worked at and it was a hit on hot days because of how refreshing it is, if you like gin and want to try making something more complex than a G&T this is your bet.

Recipe

• Grab a rocks glass
• Cut a cucumber into 3, 1cm slices
• Put 2 in the bottom of the rocks glass
• Add 1/2 Oz of simple syrup
  • Muddle the cucumber and syrup but make sure not to break up the cucumber
• Add 1/2 Oz of lime juice
• Add 2 Oz of Hendriks Gin
• Top with club soda and garnish with the other cucumber slice
