The Cure Cocktail...

The amazing healing powers of The Cure...

I posted this little cocktail recipe over at www.fringeclub.com.au and thought I would share it with my Dine Wine and Martini readers too!  It's a super refreshing cocktail, however if you don't had any vodka or gin to it, it is also a great non-alcoholic drink to rehydrate you in the Summer.


The Cure Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber
• 1 bottle of sparkling mineral water
• a knob of fresh ginger
• vodka
• ice

You will also need:

• a tall glass
• drinking straw
• muddler

How to!

1. Slice up about 2 cm of fresh ginger into large slices and pop into your glass.
2. Slice the cucumber down the length to get a long, yet thin slice of it - this is to garnish and for extra flavour.
3. Slice some of the remainder cucumber into chunky cubes and add with the ginger into the glass.
4. Using the muddler, gently mush/muddle the ginger and cucumber to break it up and also to release the ginger aromas and flavours!
5. Add some ice to glass and fill with the sparkling mineral water.
6. Add your long sliced cucumber, drinking straw and enjoy!
7. You can add some vodka to this cocktail for a 'hair of the dog' or for a refreshing Summer cocktail too!

Enjoy!

It would be quite easy to make this up in a pitcher to serve for guests as well.  Just modify the quantities to taste.


Enjoy!
