Ingredients

  • 4 oz Vodka or Gin
  • 1/2 Cucumber (peeled)
  • 3 Sprigs Mint leaves
  • 6 oz Sparkling water/Soda water
  • 4 dashes Bitters

Instructions

  1. Peel your cucumber, roughly chop half of it and place in a shaker.

  2. Add your vodka or gin and mint to the shaker.

  3. Muddle the cucumber, mint and alcohol together. Add several ice cubes (4ish) then shake vigorously.
  4. If you don't care for seeds/pulp in your drink, use a strainer to keep them out. Pour half of the mixture in the shaker into each glass.
  5. Add 2 dashes of bitters to each glass and add ice.

  6. Add your sparkling water (we love to use the Lime LaCroix flavor for this cocktail), stir gently.

  7. Garnish with sliced cucumber and mint sprig (optional) and enjoy!
