This cocktail is perfect for summer – particularly those long Summer lunches. It is light and fresh, so it not only matches perfectly with seafood, it is also refreshing on a hot day. This Cucumber Collins is perfect when you want a refreshing, fizzy drink. It’s simple to make and the simple addition of pureed cucumber really takes the whole drink up a notch to give it a bit of WOW.
