Cucumber gimlet cocktails are the pinnacle cool – at least to me. They always start to pop up as the weather warms up and the sun comes out. So, I can’t help but have all the fuzzies when I sip this cucumber and mint gimlet cocktail. The best? They are crisp, refreshing, and oh so easy to make. Plus they feel like a spa in a glass and who doesn’t love feeling like they are at a spa. Want to get in on this refreshing cocktail? It’s literally the best. Let’s get to it:
