Bloody marvellous! N Easy Peasy! I didn`t use the simple syrup. Thanks

Super refreshing drink that feels straight from the garden! Especially, if you're growing cucumber out there.

Love gin, and this refreshing drink certainly goes to new favorites.

I don't normally drink gin, and I was very pleasantly surprised by this drink. The cucumber took the edge off of what I don't like about gin. Such a nice clean tasting drink. I did reduce the amount of simple syrup, as I do not like my drinks sweet. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT8.

The cucumber flavor in this was perfect! I actually made this with both gin and vodka and they both worked well. I cut the sugar a tad as I don't like my drinks too sweet but otherwise made as directed. Thanks!
