Cucumber Gimlet

A Refreshing Classic

Anyone who knows their Gin knows that nothing works better with Gin than Cucumber! This cocktail is refreshing and delicate and can even fool you into thinking it is healthy. Well, with a garnish of cucumber at least you can believe you are getting one of your five a day!

This recipe also features in our Top 5 Gin Cocktails feature – if you love Gin, you will love our other recommendations.
