Why it works
- The confused cucumber and a well -balanced ratio of simple syrup and lime juice at the gin and the Seltzer creates a particularly refreshing summer cooler.
- Hendrick’s Gin plants amplify the flavor of the cucumber.
There is something in the discreet flavor of cucumber which is instantly soothing. He has just enough punch to awaken your senses. This cool and refreshing flavor goes incredibly well with lime that lightens it a little. Add the gin, in particular that of Hendrick (which is on the floral and vegetable side), as well as a touch of sparkling seltzer water and you are one more to complete happiness. By balancing the soothing and cool flavors with just enough acidity, this drink is the perfect reward after a long hot day.
