Cool as a cucumber is a saying for a reason and this cucumber gimlet is the physical embodiment of the idiom (see the recipe).
A gin gimlet is already a refreshing cocktail: The gin is herbal and crisp, the lime juice bright, and simple syrup softens the edges with a splash of sweetness. And although it’s not usually necessary to mess with a good thing, bringing muddled cucumber into the mix adds a fresh and cool layer of flavour.
