Photo: Cucumber and Lime Gin Fizz Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 slices peeled cucumber, plus 1 unpeeled slice for garnish
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 2 sprigs fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 2 ounces cucumber-infused gin (such as Hendrick's)
- 3 to 4 ounces club soda
Directions
Place the peeled cucumber slices, mint, cilantro and sugar in a cocktail shaker and muddle. Add the lime juice and gin. Fill the shaker halfway with ice and shake vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes (this seems like a long time, but it's essential).
Fill a cocktail glass with fresh ice. Strain the drink into the glass, top with the club soda and garnish with a cucumber slice.

I had all of the ingredients and one drinks worth of Hendricks left, so I went for it. The muddling was a bit labor intensive as well as the shaking for 2 minutes, but...its good! Kinda glad I only had enough cucumber and gin and lime for one drink - by the way, I added about an ounce more gin. Needed it.

Well, since no one else has tried this, I did. It is easy and very refreshing. Drink it up while it's ice cold. I added some lime zest and used lemon/lime club soda.
FYI - I learned that Hendricks Gin IS infused with cucumber so you don't have to specify. They only make 1 gin and this is it.
