I designed this custom cocktail for 7 Delicious Creative Albuquerque Cocktails. There’s nothing about it that says you can’t be sippin’ on one outside of the Land of Enchantment, plus it’s refreshing as heck, so let’s get drinking!

Uptown Cooler

  • in a tall glass, add:
  • 1 1/2 oz of gin
  • 1/2 oz of fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 2 cucumber slices
  • muddle them together in the bottom of the glass
  • fill the glass with ice and top with club soda
  • serve with a straw and garnish with a thin cucumber slice

Cucumber Martini

  • Muddle that cucumber to bits.
  • Add 2 oz of Hendrick’s Gin and shake with lots of ice.
  • Double strain into a cocktail glass (pour through the shaker and a tight mesh strainer too).
  • Garnish with a cucumber wheel.
