Cucumber Crush Cocktail

Spring is around the corner. It’s a time for renewal and regrowth. The weather breaks and landscapes change. We see beautiful flowers and hear melodious songs from birds. We begin to find ourselves and our neighbors outside more. It’s a time to not only enjoy this refreshing change in weather but refreshing cocktails as well. There are a lot of amazing drinks that mysteriously disappear during those winter months but make their comeback now. This cucumber cocktail is one of them. Delicious all year round but perfect for this time of year. It embodies all things spring, even the colors.
