Top Five Drinks with Cucumber

On hot summer days and nights, cucumber can give us that extra freshness kick in iced drinks. Here are our five best cocktail recipes.

Cool as a cucumber is not just a saying, but our philosophy for imbibing in hot weather. Is there anything more refreshing in summer than a cool, cucumber-flavored drink? Although many people swear by the detox effect of cucumber peel or slices in mineral water, we prefer to jazz up our drinks with gin, vodka, cognac, sake or Cointreau – and raise a toast to summer. Cheers!
