Cool As a Cucumber Cocktail

Cool As a Cucumber Cocktail

Serves 8

My original Calcutta Cooler recipe is very, very good...but it's also labor intensive.  This drink's flavor profile mimics that one and can be thrown together at a moment's notice.  It provides the perfect accompaniment for any spicy dish, including this must-have-again Yellow Curry.

Stir gently together in a pitcher: 

8-10 shots Pearl Cucumber Vodka

4 shots Key Lime Juice

1/2 shot Creme-de-Menthe

4 (6.8 oz) bottles of Fever Tree Ginger Beer

This is even better when the first 3 ingredients are mixed ahead and stashed in the freezer for last-minute assembly with thoroughly chilled ginger beer

Serve over 3 cubes of ice in chilled highballs.
