Refreshing Cucumber Gimlet

A Unique Twist on a Classic Cocktail

The Cucumber Gimlet is a refreshing cocktail. If you’re not a fan of cucumber, you can substitute any flavor of vodka. To make your own cucumber flavor, muddle three slices of cucumber in the shaker with the other ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ ounce simple syrup

  • 2 ounces cucumber vodka

  • ¾ ounce fresh lime juice

INSTRUCTIONS

Put all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake then strain into a coupe over a flower ice-ball. The garnish is the gem of this cocktail. These edible flowers were purchased from the Dripping Springs Farmers Market. Add them to a sphere ice mold with water. A day later you will have a flower bomb sure to impress.
