Cucumber Melon Cooler

Description

Cucumber Melon Cooler is deliberately clean and low on sugar. Gin provides botanical structure, green melon liqueur adds ripe fruit, cucumber cordial brings fresh vegetal lift and lime keeps the combination crisp.

Soda water stretches the drink into a long cooler so the melon never becomes candy-like. The finish should be cool, green and dry.

Ingredients

  • 35 ml Gin
  • 15 ml Green melon liqueur
  • 30 ml Cucumber Cordial
  • 15 ml lime juice
  • Soda Water to top
  • 1 piece Cucumber slices (long ribbon or thin slice, for garnish)
  • Ice
