Bought some cucumber syrup. It's full of artificial coloring and tartrazine and crap, and it tastes better and more crisp than homemade stuff ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Eleven bucks a bottle if you know where to get it. Cocktail is a typical sour, 1 part lemon, 1 part cuke/St G, 2 parts gin (reserve your judgement, it's the only gin I had laying around)

3/5 pleasant, but too sweet. I ought to add more gin and a splash of soda water, but I will not.

Had me sold at gin & St. Germaine. Plus cucumber syrup? Sign me right up!

Only thing I'd change is look for a less piney gin (Boodles is awesome though!). I love that today we can get a whole variety of gins with vastly different flavor profiles.

Leopold Brothers has one that's citrusy, may work well here.

Now I'm off to find that cucumber syrup, what a summery drink that must be!
