I had a similar drink at a cool restaurant in Tucson for mothers day, but it was made with Tequila. I wanted to try it with some vodka...very refreshing! Ingredients:
1/2 cup english cucumber, diced |
1/2 cup mint leaf, roughly chopped |
1/2 cup kumquat, quartered |
4 tablespoons lime juice |
8 ounces vodka, high quality |
2 ounces orange-flavored liqueur, cointreau |
4 ounces club soda |
crushed ice |
Directions:
1. Fill 4 cocktail glasses evenly with the cucumber, mint, and kumquats. Add 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar to each glass. Using a muddler, smash the ingredients in each glass slightly to release flavors and juices.
2. Add 1 TBS lime juice into each glass.
3. Add crushed ice into each glass filling 3/4 full. Add the vodka, orange liquer, and club soda in order to each glass.
4. Serve with a wedge of cucumber as a garnish.
