So, you’ve blended more than your fair share of margaritas and you simply aren’t up for the challenge of shaking an entire round of martinis, which is why we found the Cucumber-Lemonade Chiller courtesy of Delish.com for you this week. This light and refreshing cocktail not only has nutritional value, but it can also be made by the pitcher. You’re welcome.
Ingredients
3 large cucumbers
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh rosemary, plus 4 sprigs for garnish
1 cup water
6 ounce (3/4 cup) gin
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoon(s) agave syrup (see Tips & Techniques)
Preparation
1. Cut 12 thin slices of cucumber for garnish.
2. Peel and chop the rest of the cucumber; transfer to a food processor, add rosemary and puree.
3. Pour the puree through a fine-mesh strainer (press on the solids to extract all juice).
4. Add water, gin, lemon juice and agave syrup to the cucumber juice; stir until the agave is dissolved.
5. Divide among 4 ice-filled glasses and garnish with cucumber slices and rosemary sprigs.
