Recipe: Cucumber Gin Gimblet
Hi, friends!
If you are like me, my living room has been the new location for my at-home happy hours. If I am going to be inside the house, then I must make sure that my cocktails are strong and light.

Spring has made its official debut, so I’m trying to create cocktails that are perfect for the warmer weather. One of my latest cocktail obsessions is this recipe for a Cucumber Gin Gimblet. If you are not a fan of gin, like myself, then you can substitute it with vodka. If you are a fan of gin, then you’re going to love this cocktail.
When I am entertaining, I make sure to use the vegetable peeler for the cucumber slices. It adds a sort of wow-factor. I like this cocktail because it is ideal for a dinner party, or after a long day working from home. You’re going to thoroughly enjoy how refreshing and enjoyable this cocktail tastes.
