Garden Cucumber Lemon & Mint Fizz
Hello, meet the perfect spring cocktail! There is nothing better than a garden cocktail no matter where you are in the world. This one combines refreshing cucumber with tart lemon & cooling mint for an amazing happy hour drink. You could easily replace the Gin in this for Vodka but I absolutely love how the botanical notes in Gin elevate the flavors of this drink. Cheers!
