I think we can all agree that it's hot out. I've dispensed with wearing one of our lovely shirts and seem to be living in a ratty t-shirt from Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke along with a pair of Mountain Khaki shorts.
When even this isn't enough, and the kids are no longer satisfied with waiting for adult swim to end at the pool , I have been reaching more and more for this drink courtesy of the fine folks at Fort Defiance in Red Hook. Ditch the Firefly, this is what you want:
CUCUMBER COLLINS
5 cucumber sticks
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
muddle above ingredients, then add:
2 oz Hendricks Gin
plenty of ice
Shake
Pour over tall glass of Ice. Top of remainder with Club Soda, Garnish with mint.
Unbelievably Refreshing. Turn on some Mojave 3 or Jackpot, think cool. Almost wants you to get back into a freshly ironed shirt again.
Cheers
