HAPPY HOUR
CUCUMBER-MINT SPARKLERS
INGREDIENTS
1-inch piece of seedless cucumber finely chopped 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice 1-1/2 ounces vodka 2 tsp mint simple syrup 3 ounces Prosecco or champagne
MINT SIMPLE SYRUP: 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
FOR GARNISH: 3-4 slices cucumber 1 sprig fresh mint
METHOD
First, you’ll need to make the simple syrup. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water and mint leaves to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the saucepan occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, one to two minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely before using. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the chopped cucumber with the lime juice. Add the vodka, simple syrup and a few ice cubes, and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty. Strain into a glass filled with ice and top with Prosecco. Garnish with the cucumber slice and mint sprig.
