Cucumber Lime Cocktail is our new favorite drink! It is tasty, light, and refreshing. This recipe calls for lime cordial, which is a fancy description for lime simple syrup. The lime cordial gives the drink a fresh, zesty lime taste with an amazing floral aroma. This cocktail is perfect to sip poolside, at the beach, or anywhere you would like a drink in your hand. We love this cocktail, but beware as it is very easy to drink!

Make Cucumber Lime Cocktail
- Muddle cucumber slices in a mixing glass.
