Yum Alert: The Cucumber Cooler

Written by Olga

Introducing: The Cucumber Cooler.

We’re still dreaming of spring weather in this office so today I’m featuring one of my favorite spring time drinks: The Cucumber Cooler.

Ingredients

1 2″ piece cucumber, thinly sliced crosswise, plus 1 additional slice for garnish

1⁄8 tsp. fresh thyme leaves

1 1⁄2 oz. vodka

1⁄2 oz. simple syrup

Directions

In a cocktail shaker, combine the cucumber slices, thyme, and 1⁄4 cup crushed ice. Using a muddler, crush ingredients until slushy. Add more ice, vodka, and simple syrup. Cover, shake vigorously to combine, and pour contents into a glass garnished with a slice of cucumber.
