We took the most refreshing gin and added it to the amazingly refreshing Cucumber Collins. There are not many gin cocktails that come close to being a better summer sipper!🤤Our Dry Hopped Gin is the perfect complement to the refreshing crisp and citrus notes of lemon and cucumber, making this the best easy cucumber cocktail.

This versatile summer cocktail can suit any occasion; whether you’re hosting a pool party, a tea party, or a casual get-together, this drink will fit right in. Especially, if you pair it with some of those delicious little cucumber sandwiches! 🥪 🏖️

The Cucumber Collins is a variation of the classic Tom Collins; a gin-based cocktail that dates back to the 19th century. The original recipe consists of gin, lemon juice, sugar, and club soda, served over ice in a tall glass. Our recipe adds muddled slices of cucumber to the original which is a small but drastic improvement to the classic. We love to use cucumbers directly from the garden to add the freshest taste! If you are buying a cucumber for the cocktail, we recommend a nice English cucumber.
