Cucumber cilantro cocktails

January 28, 2012
To accompany our Chinatown feast, we experimented with two cilantro cucumber cocktails (it's rare to find fresh cilantro at normal supermarkets in the city, so we were excited to get some in Chinatown):

#1 Cilantro and cucumber with gin

2 slices of cucumber, peeled
1 tablespoon of cilantro leaves, muddled together with the cucumber
50 cc gin
Simple syrup to taste
Club soda to taste
[Added July 14] 10 cc lime juice

#2 Cilantro cucumber margarita

3 slices of cucumber, peeled
1.5 tablespoon of cilantro leaves, muddled together with the cucumber
50 cc tequila
25 cc triple sec
25 cc lime juice
25 cc Sprite
Simple syrup to taste

Keep in mind: We make our drinks to taste, and adjust the ingredients each time. The proportions aren't exact, and can be adjusted as you like.
