When it comes to signature cocktails for your big day, it is important to chose a drink that represents both the couple and the style of the event! For our recent Black and White Wedding we wanted to whip up a custom drink that was sophisticated yet playful and had a light, springy feel. We decided on a classic gin and lime gimlet with a refreshing twist of cucumber and mint. This bright and refreshing drink is a foolproof cocktail to enjoy at a spring wedding!
- 2.5 oz. Gin
- 5 Mint Leaves
- 1/4 c. Sliced Cucumber
- 1.5 oz. Simple Syrup
- 1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
- Ice
Start by peeling and chopping the cucumber then rinse your mint leaves.
Next, muddle the cucumbers and mint. Add mint, cucumbers and the simple syrup together in your shaker.
Add the lime juice and the gin to the muddled mixture.
Thinly slice up some cucumbers as a garnish.
Use a couple of chilled cucumbers and a mint leaf as a delicious garnish in the glass.
Strain your cucumber and mint gimlet into the glass. Serve with a chic black and white striped beverage napkin. Enjoy this signature cocktail at your spring wedding or on a warm day!
