Cucumber

Herbal & Botanical
SummerUsed in ~5 drinks

Cool, green, and impossibly refreshing — cucumber is the embodiment of clean, vegetal freshness in a cocktail. Its flavor is subtle and aqueous, more about absence of weight than presence of intensity, which makes it an ideal canvas for gin, elderflower, and light citrus. Cucumber reads as spa-like elegance and zero-proof sophistication.

Aroma

The nose is gentle and green — fresh-cut melon rind, wet grass, and a clean, almost mineral quality that suggests spring water over a garden.
