concoction inspirations.




this is a more complicated but equally simple recipe for summertime drinks that can be altered severely due to individual taste but still not loose a bit of flavor.

this specific drink:
1 part limeade
1 part water
sliced cucumber
fresh lemon wedges
fresh grapefruit wedges
muddled strawberries
ice cubes

cap. shake. serve with a lemon balm/mint leaf if you have them in the garden. ;)

optional suggestions:
hendricks gin or st. germain or both

also:
switch fruit juice to just water or use any fruit compilation you can imagine. if it's fresh, and you put it in a mason jar and you shake it and you serve it cold, it will probably taste good in the summertime. especially with some hendricks or st. germain....

cool cucumber water.

this one is easy.

slice some strips of cucumber with a carrot/potato peeler.
put it in a mason jar.
fill it up with water and ice cubes.
shake.
serve cold on a hot day.
