Refreshingly Cool and Tasty

From the pages of my Mariner Magazine, sent to me from Holland America Cruise Lines, I have discovered the ultimate summer cocktail that I just had to share with all of you. I had thoroughly enjoyed the Cucumber Colins served up at The Hudson in New York, but I like this better because it fizzes and my at-home creation does not include the “attitude”. Created with the expertise of mixologists of Seattle’s Rob Roy restaurant this special drink has been tested by the best.

Lime Cucumber Fizz

  • 2 slices of peeled cucumber
  • 4-6 fresh mint leaves
  • 4-6 cilantro leaves
  • 2 teaspoons superfine sugar
  • 1.5 oz. of Kettle One vodka (I also love Chopin!)
  • 1 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 2 or 4 oz. club soda
Place the cucumber, mint, cilantro and sugar in a shaker and muddle thoroughly. Pour in the lime juice and vodka. Add cracked ice and shake for a minute or longer. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh cubes. Add club soda and stir. Garnish with a cucumber slice and mint.
I am looking forward to having one of these on board my next cruise!
