COCKTAIL HOUR: CUCUMBER GRAPEFRUIT & GIN FIZ

Come Summer time you can find me dabbling in the kitchen trying to find a new concoction to quench my thirst. This hot evening left me with this delicious drink, I like to call it my Cucumber Grapefruit and Gin Fiz. 

I decided to experiment with and the result was this drink something so refreshing. delicious. and so so so satisfying after a long hot day. The flavors mingle together, crisp and tart with a hint of spice from the Ginger Beer. I also picked up these little sphere ice molds at target and I absolutely love them. They cool your drink without diluting the important stuff. Which is really important in my opinion.
