At Mat and my Stock the Bar couple’s wedding shower, one of my best friends gave us a bottle of Hendrick’s gin. The smooth gin is definitely memorable probably due to its hints of cucumber in every sip.
Recently, I went on the hunt for a refreshing gin cocktail other than a classic gin and tonic, and this one won’t disappoint.

3 slices of cucumber, about 1/4-inch thick plus one for garnish
1/2 ounce fresh juice from 1 lime
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1 1/2 ounces gin, such as Hendrick’s
1 to 2 ounces seltzer water
Directions
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber slices with the lime juice and simple syrup until the cucumber has completely dissolved.
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, add the gin and shake for about 10 seconds. Pour the cocktail through a mini strainer into a collins glass filled with ice. Top with seltzer water and garnish with a cucumber slice.
Have a great weekend!!
