Cucumber Cocktail

I made an accidental cocktail discovery last weekend.  Just as I was about to become annoyed with how much juice was going to waste when I was grating cucumbers for tzatziki, I spotted a bottle of gin out of the corner of my eye.  And the wheels started turning.

 

Cucumber juice was the missing piece to the puzzle of cocktail ingredients I already had on hand: gin, lemon juice, sugar, water.  I put these pieces together like a baker, using tablespoons instead of ounces. And with all my might {I don’t know how bartenders do it}, shook my cocktail shaker as hard as I could. Just enough cucumber flavor, a tad of tart, and a hint of sweetness, the result was an extra refreshing, Sunday Funday cocktail.
