The Convinced Skeptic

Cocktail by @theresidentmixologist. I don’t do cucumber drinks. Cucumber tastes too healthy for a cocktail. It’s like when someone suggests fresh fruit for dessert. However, through extensive trial and error, I have officially cracked my own palate’s cucumber code. If you are a cucumber skeptic like myself, this is worth a try. Don’t skip the salted rim
