This Cucumber Gin and Tonic was made for those hot summer nights (tell me more, tell me more....). And no muddler, no problem — check out the little cocktail hack in this recipe!
Fill a glass 1/2 full with ice. Squeeze the cucumber and mint leaves in a citrus press (one of my go-to kitchen tools) over the ice, then dump the squished cucumber and mint into the glass. Squeeze the lime over the glass and toss that in as well. Pour in the gin, then pour in the tonic and give a quick stir. Serve it up.
Notes
If you do have a muddler, place the cucumber and mint in the bottom of the glass and mash them well. Add the ice, gin, and tonic water, and enjoy!
