Cool as a cucumber…Cocktail
I absolutely love a cold delicious cocktail in the summer. It seems that mixologists are truly becoming more creative with their drink varieties. Recently I stumbled upon what I think is my new favorite cocktail. At the restaurant where we were dining, down in Berkeley, the drink is called ‘Endless Summer’ I can see how the drink was so simple to name. Cucumber and Melon are both in abundance now in our gardens, and what screams summer more than melon!
I had a similar cocktail that used cantaloupe that was wonderful as well. I am curious to how a watermelon will fit into this delightful drink.
Cheers!
