If fruity and sweet aren’t really your thing then this Cucumber Cup Cocktail will be right up your alley!
It starts out light and fresh but mellows down to a more savory vibe without the “heavy” of your typical Bloody Mary or Caesar.
The agave syrup adds just a little sweet to the light taste of cucumber, emboldened by the fleshy melon of our summery Fresh Cantaloupe Flavour. Cantaloupe and cucumber are members of the same vine-crop family, which is why they make the perfect pairing. Add in a little citrus, gin, and green olives, and you’ve got the perfect after-dinner cocktail to kick your night off right!
