Natasha David has served a wide variety of spritzes at her Lower East Side bar, Nitecap, since it opened in 2014. Some she delivered in the fashion of a standard cocktail - that is, chilled but iceless. Despite its name, that is the case with this bright and sparkling take on the classic daiquiri. Fragrant crème de menthe and the light flavor of the muddled cucumber give the drink an additional garden freshness.
