[DRINK]: Cucumber Gimlet Cocktail | #CocktailsWithCassidy

1min read

There’s something about a cucumber gimlet that just tastes like holiday mode. It’s crisp, cool, and ridiculously refreshing – basically a spa day in cocktail form. I can already picture myself sipping one poolside, sun hat on, and playlist going.

This one’s a little lighter than some of the richer cocktails in the series, which makes it perfect for warm weather, weekend lunches, or a midweek “treat yourself” moment.

If you love things extra zesty, add a tiny splash of soda or use a citrus-forward gin. You can also chill your glass beforehand for that frosted finish.
