Refreshing cocktail
Sunny and fresh
With fresh notes of citrus, cucumber and lime, this cocktail feels like sunshine in a glass. Enjoy the last few days of summer with this bright and refreshing punch. Subtle citrus notes will whet your appetite and make it the perfect drink to serve at your end-of-summer gatherings.
6 to 8 drinks
Ingredients
750 mL (25 oz ) vodka
720 mL (24 oz) lemon-lime soda
360 mL (12 oz ) club soda
75 mL (2 1/2 oz ) lemon juice
50 mL (1 2/3 oz ) cane syrup (simple syrup)
Ice cubes
Lemon slices
Cucumber slices
Preparation
In a punch bowl containing ice cubes, combine all ingredients except a few cucumber slices. Stir using a mixing spoon. Serve in highball glasses. Garnish each glass with a cucumber slice.
Tips
To help the cucumber slice stick to the rim of the glass, slice an unpeeled cucumber with a mandolin and rub the cucumber around the glass rim before adding the liquid. Or simply add thin slices of cucumber in your glass. Avoid slicing the cucumber too thick – a large chunk isn’t as visually appealing.
Fall chalet
Sugar and spice
Now, here’s a cocktail that’s aptly named – the perfect drink to sip on as we slip into the comforts of fall. Apple and cinnamon go hand in hand, but rarely are they combined with gin! Top it all off with tangy cranberry juice and you have a fall-flavour combo that will have you looking forward to some cozy days ahead!
Charming bouquet
Produced in the traditional method, this dry gin features bold aromas of juniper, coriander, angelica root and licorice. It’s the ideal gin to use in fruity cocktails like this one. With its subtle aromas of lime and mandarin, Tanqueray Rangpur perfectly complements drinks that are simple and light and that let its gorgeous bouquet shine through.
