Cucumber is our teachers pet of Gin Garnishes followed closely by Rosemary.
Of course for some folks Cucumber and Gin is a love it or hate it debate, a little like the big Vegemite conundrum
It all of course depends on the botanicals of your chosen Gin, hence why it’s a perfect pairing with Hendricks due to its cucumber blend.
We thought we should share our favourite Cucumber Cocktails because as well as being delicious you can make them look fabulous with that versatility in shapes created with a cucumber garnish.
Let us know your favourites and which Aussie Gin you like to pair your cucumber with
