Cucumber Gin And Tonic Recipes

Steps:

• Add the gin, Cucumber-Thyme Juice and 1 sprig thyme to a shaker with ice and shake until well combined. Strain into a glass with ice, pour in the tonic and stir. Garnish with a slice of cucumber and a sprig of thyme.
• Puree the thyme and cucumber in a food processor until smooth, about 40 seconds. Place a sieve on top of a bowl and strain the juice from the pulp.

Steps:

• Add the ice to a cocktail glass.
• Add cucumber slices.
• Add gin.
• Fill glass with tonic water.

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, peel the cucumber lengthwise until you have long, wide ribbons.
• Place a few slices of lime and mint leaves in the bottom of a Collins glass, or other tall glass, and, using a wooden spoon, lightly muddle them to release the juices in the lime and oils in the mint. Add a few strips of cucumber and fill the glass with ice (crushed, if you've got it).
• Top with tonic water and a few dashes of bitters, if using.

Steps:

• Strip leaves from two sprigs of mint and place in the bottom of a highball glass along with cucumber.
• Muddle with a muddling stick or the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill a glass with ice.
• Pour gin over ice, top off glass with tonic, stirring once, and garnish with remaining mint sprig and thin cucumber wedge.
