STRAWBERRY-CUCUMBER GIN-ELDERFLOWER SPRITZ



Strawberry-Cucumber Gin-Elderflower Spritz image

This pretty-in-pink summer drink is like a Pimm's cup with a French accent. The muddled cucumber with its watery flesh, sweet strawberry, and gin mixture is not only refreshing but can be also made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, covered, up to eight hours.
