It’s August. Our garden is teeming with fresh produce. You know what we always say: if you can’t eat ‘em, drink ‘em. Okay. We’ve never said that. We, though, have done it. We did it last night.
We got feisty and went experimenting again. We call this whiskey cocktail the “Cucumber Mint Mash.” With fresh cucumber and mint from our garden, it’s hard to imagine a more crisp and refreshing adult beverage.
Cucumber Mint Mash
Ingredients
- Four cucumber slices
