When it comes to co*cktails, I’m always on the hunt for something light, fresh and easy. This Cucumber Mint co*cktail is exactly that! Made with fresh cucumbers and mint, you’ll feel like you’re sipping on boozy spa water!

Instead of using simple syrup or adding a sweetener to the co*cktail, I added lemonade. This gives the co*cktail a hint of sweetness and I love the balance of the fresh lemon taste with the cucumber and mint.

I used Wheatley Vodka as the perfect base for this co*cktail. It’s crafted in small batches, ten-times-distilled, triple filtered and bottled at 82 proof.

With a super smooth clean taste and hints of soft vanilla, this vodka is so smooth, it pairs perfectly with the light, fresh flavors in this co*cktail recipe!

What you’ll need

• Fresh cucumber
• Fresh mint sprigs
• Wheatley vodka – which can be found in stores like Albertsons, Total Wine, Whole Foods, Pavilions and Vons.
• Sparkling water or soda water
• Lemonade

Step by step instructions

1. Add fresh sliced cucumbers and mint leaves to the bottom of a 16 ounce glass.
2. Pour 2 ounces of vodka in the glass.
3. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to muddle the cucumber and mint into the vodka.
4. The mint and cucumber should be well mashed into the vodka, releasing the flavors of the fresh vegetable and herbs into the drink.
5. Fill the glass with ice.
