Video: How To Make A Cucumber Gin Gimlet

Cool cukes add subtle flavor to this classy gin cocktail

Cool as a cucumber is a saying for a reason. And our cucumber gimlet is the physical embodiment of the idiom (see the recipe).

A gin gimlet is already a refreshing cocktail: The gin is herbal and crisp, the lime juice bright, and simple syrup softens the edges with a splash of sweetness. And although it's not usually necessary to mess with a good thing, bringing muddled cucumber into the mix adds a fresh and cool layer of flavor.
