Muddled Cucumber Gin and Tonic Cocktail Recipe
It’s no secret that Kelly and I enjoy a good old-fashioned Gin and Tonic from time to time. Here is a little seasonal addition to the classic G&T cocktail recipe. When it comes to Gin, everybody has their favorite. I prefer my Gin to have some floral notes or a botanical flavor. Some distilleries that provide of our go-to gins are Hendricks, Prairie Organic Spirits, and a local favorite from San Francisco, Junípero.
