Method

Cucumber Gimlet Directions

Prepare the Cucumber

Slice half a medium cucumber into thin rounds. Reserve a slice for garnish and set aside.

Muddle the Cucumber

In a cocktail shaker, add the cucumber slices and gently muddle with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the juices.

Add Liquids

Pour in 2 oz of Bombay Sapphire Gin or Titos Vodka, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled cucumber.

Shake the Mixture

Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) and securely close the shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

Strain and Serve

Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass to remove cucumber pulp.

Garnish and Enjoy

Garnish the drink with the reserved cucumber slice and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cucumber Gimlet!
