Hello Saturday! My favorite day of the week. I don't know about you guys but when it starts warming up I tend to prefer day drinking over night drinking on the weekend. (If I had to choose.)
The Cucumber Refresher is absolutely perfect for relaxing on your patio, poolside, or on the beach. It combines gin with cucumber, lime, cilantro-infused simple syrup, and tonic water. It's like a fancier more refreshing gin and tonic. The Vitamin B and electrolytes in the cucumber are sure to give you a boost to power through the heat. Cheers to the weekend!
