The Cuc

To be honest, i was wondering what the hell i was going to do with a cucumber plant that has fallen in love with the weather and decided to pop one out everyday. Problem solved. Hendricks Gin is one of the finest on the planet, and infused with cucumber to boot. So this infusion decision was easy.

One can even go cheap on this too. An $18 dollar 1.75 bottle of Gordons is all you need. Pour the juniper berry goodness into a large glass vessel and chop up 2 cucumbers (preferably organic and just picked of course). Shake it up a couple times a day and be sure to test it hourly (wink). By day 3 it should taste like heaven. Strain it into a decanter and enjoy.

Tonight my mixture was ready for the limelight:
2 Jiggers of homemade Cucgin
3 ice cubes and shaken with some muddled mint leaves

Why did Sublime's "Summertime" just come to mind?
Cheers!!
