Best Cucumber Thyme Gin And Tonic Recipes
CUCUMBER AND TONIC
An evolution of soda water with bitters, think of this as a spin on the gin and tonic. Vegetal cucumber and herby mint replace the botanicals in the gin. If tonic water is too bitter for you, swap in soda water instead. And, if you're eschewing alcohol in all its forms, skip the bitters. (They do contain alcohol, though it's diluted here.)

Steps:
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the cucumber lengthwise until you have long, wide ribbons.
- Place a few slices of lime and mint leaves in the bottom of a Collins glass, or other tall glass, and, using a wooden spoon, lightly muddle them to release the juices in the lime and oils in the mint. Add a few strips of cucumber and fill the glass with ice (crushed, if you've got it).
- Top with tonic water and a few dashes of bitters, if using.

Steps:
- Place the ice cubes in a tall, narrow, chilled glass (the cubes should come near the top.) Add the gin, then the tonic water, then the lime juice, stirring well. Garnish with lime wedge, and serve immediately.
- Note: To make the ice cubes, simply fill an empty ice cube tray with tonic water, and let the cubes freeze. It takes just a few hours. Covered well, the cubes will remain fresh-tasting in the freezer for at least a few weeks.
CUCUMBER GIN AND TONIC
I'm obsessed with cucumbers right now - they're really refreshing when it's so hot outside. I decided to try them in a gin and tonic, and it turned out really well.
