[QUOTE="Benjamin Button, post: 53609, member: 460"] My absolute FAVORITE summer time gin drink is Hendricks Gin and Tonic with cucumber. Shave some cucumber into long thin strips (run the cucumber along a cheese grater or something of the sort, skin and all). Put the cucumber strips (about a pipe bowl full for reference) and add gin, and ice into a shaker. Shake vigorously until the gin is well chilled. Pour (don't strain) the Gin, ice and cucumber into a rocks glass and top with tonic water. [b]Don't[/b] add lime! This drink is absolutely delicious! The reason it works so well is that Hendricks is distilled with cucumber and rosewater as well as some other botanicals giving it a pleasing floral undertone to it. When adding cucumber as a garnish, it emphasizes that aspect of the distilling process and adds so much to the drink. HIGHLY recommended! -Adam [/QUOTE]
