Cocktailing | Bubbly Cucumber Mint

I had the most amazing realization this week - if I muddle some green things together it will turn the drink a lovely shade of green! Which means it’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day without being dyed green or filled with something gross.

This isn’t just a St. Patrick’s Day drink that’s not gross - this is your new favorite spring cocktail. It’s light and refreshing, it’s made with all that mint growing in your yard, and it has a vegetable in it - healthy! I cannot wait for you to drink this. Tonight is the perfect night for it - or tomorrow - or the next day.

BUBBLY CUCUMBER MINT

makes 2 drinks

6 slices of cucumber

10-12 mint leaves

4 ounces Hendricks Gin

Sparkling water

In a cocktail shaker, muddle together mint and cucumber using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon. Add ice and gin. Shake well. Strain into two glasses and top with bubbly water (try Too Chico if you haven’t already)

Garnish with cucumber wheels and mint leaves.

Cheers!
