Light, Fresh, and Perfect for Upscale Events
☀️ A Seasonal Sip Worth Savoring
This week’s Featured Drink Friday is a favorite from our summer catering menus: the Cucumber Gin Spritz.
Light, refreshing, and beautifully presented, this cocktail is perfect for:
- 🌿 Garden weddings
- 🧊 Rooftop cocktail hours
- 🌞 Summer brunch events
- 🍋 Light and citrusy drink lovers
With crisp cucumber, bright citrus, and a bubbly finish, this drink is a client favorite when the temperature climbs and guests want something cooling—but still sophisticated.
🍸 Cucumber Gin Spritz Recipe (Serves 1)
Ingredients:
- 2 oz gin (we love Hendrick’s for its cucumber notes)
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- ½ oz simple syrup
- 2–3 slices fresh cucumber
- 3 fresh mint leaves
- Club soda to top
- Crushed ice
Instructions:
- Muddle cucumber and mint in a shaker with lemon juice and simple syrup.
- Add gin and shake with ice until well chilled.
- Strain into a glass filled with crushed ice.
- Top with club soda and gently stir.
- Garnish with a cucumber ribbon, mint sprig, or edible flower.
📸 Bonus tip: Serve in a stemless wine glass or highball with a bamboo straw for eco-chic vibes.
