A gin tonic with cucumber and lime is a fresh, refreshing cocktail, perfect for a warm day or as an aperitif. The cucumber gives the drink a cool, light flavor, while the lime adds a bright, tangy note.
Serve the gin tonic immediately after preparation so the ice cubes haven’t melted. Use a large glass so there’s enough room for all the ingredients and garnish the glass with extra cucumber slices and lime wedges for a nice result.
