Happy #CocktailFriday y’all! I decided to change things up a little bit this week and go for something GREEN. Allow me to introduce to you this gorgeous little Cucumber Gin Fizz! It’s bright, refreshing, lightly sweet, and man – that cucumber, lime, and mint combo is really what a hot summer day calls for.

Looking at this drink actually really reminds me of a green Bloody Mary. A verde Maria? Idk what they’re actually called, but I know they’re bright and green and have lots of stuff sticking out the top! The cucumber and mint are blended together to bring the bright green color to the party, but they’re strained out to make sure you have a smooth and easy drinking experience. Give it a try this weekend!

all about spirits

Gin

Gin is distilled from grains and primarily flavored with juniper. It’s known for herbal and botanical notes that come from infusions of herbs, spices, flowers, and fruits. The flavors can be incredibly complex (and delicious).

Here are some gins that I’ve tried, enjoyed, and recommend:

  • Citadelle Gin – A versatile gin with plenty of flavor and a gorgeous bottle.
  • Plymouth Gin – Another versatile gin that you can’t go wrong with. The flavor isn’t overpowering, so it’s great for mixing.
  • Barr Hill Gin – Small batch gin that’s slightly sweet thanks to honey. Can get lost if mixing with this one.
  • St. George’s Botanivore Gin – Slightly spicy and herbal, this one has stronger, more distinctive flavors than some others on this list.
  • Hendrick’s Gin – A benchmark type of gin with traditional herbal flavor that’s also infused with rose and cucumber.
  • Ford’s Gin – An easy going gin that’s less expensive and great for mixing.
  • Empress 1908 Gin (Indigo) – A milder gin with gorgeous purple color that changes to pink when mixed with acidic ingredients.
  • The Botanist Gin – A more robust gin with traditional flavors at a reasonable price.

For my macro trackers out there, I wasn’t able to create a My Fitness Pal barcode for this recipe since I would have had to decide for you whether to put the alcohol calories in as carbs or fats – that’s up to you!  The 14 grams of carbs listed here are just for the sugar in the lime juice, cucumber and simple syrup.  For my non-macro trackers, here’s more info on what I’m talking about.
