This Cucumber Gin Gimlet is simple, refreshing, and perfect for summer. And I mean… look at that color! I used Empress 1908 Gin which is a spirit from Canada that’s micro-distilled in copper-pot stills using juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, butterfly pea blossoms. The pea blossoms give it that beautiful indigo hue!
