Cucumber Lime Vodka Fizz
Oh, how I loved this refreshing cocktail! I really enjoyed the freshness the cucumber and mint added to this simple cocktail and the zing from the fresh lime juice. I like to keep my cocktails low in sugar but if you like a sweeter drink, adding some simple syrup would work well with this cucumber lime vodka fizz. This light and refreshing drink was a nice treat and a tasty way to end a very hot and busy day.
How to Make a Cucumber Lime Vodka Fizz
Fill a glass with ice. Place a few cucumber slices in the glass along with a few leaves of mint. Squeeze the juice of half a lime in each glass. Add the vodka then top with the lime sparkling water. Top with a thin cucumber ribbon and extra lime on the side, if desired. Cheers!
Side Note: If you prefer sweeter cocktails, simply add a bit of simple syrup, to taste.

If I drank alcohol, I definitely would want this!
I have been enjoying a similar drink, but using EFFEN Cucumber Vodka. I use one shot of that, juice of half a lime, and then top with sparkling water. So easy and refreshing! If you see a bottle at your liquor store, I highly recommend!
I can’t taste it from here but your presentation is very nice.
I would like to try this drink. Looks so refreshing.
Mmmmm that does sound good. Enjoy your weekend. Diane

Your cucumber ribbons are so pretty! Nothing like a clear beverage on a hot day.
Cucumber in cocktails (and, actually, in all drinks) is SO refreshing. The perfect thing to sip during the next heat wave.
