Happy #Thirsty Thurday!!! Short and sweet as it is every Thursday I am afraid. There is not always a lot to say when there are beautiful drinks to glug…
And today, Gin it is ladies and gentleman. Gin, fresh and crunchy cucumbers and red pepper laced lemonade.
Couldn’t be better. The perfect cocktail to be sipping on a warm summers night. Or really any night. Right?
A little bit of heat, a little sweet, a little sour, a little refreshing crunch of cucumber. A perfect cocktail. Enjoy ☺

So refreshing!! Love the pinch of cayenne!
I love the spice in this, but I leave the gin 🙂
I LOVE thirsty Thursday. And even more, I love this spicy cocktail!
Gin and juice all the way!
I must admit, I’ve never been much of a gin person. I just really don’t have that much experience with it. But I was just thinking today that I could really use a good refreshing cucumber drink…was going to go for cucumber water. Maybe I’ll try this instead 🙂
Wow! I definitely need to try these!!
Looks so refreshing! Delicious!
Cucumber is such a refreshing ingredient, I love that you used it in this lemonade!
How pretty! So fun for spring!!
