The Firecracker – Watermelon, Lime and Cucumber Cocktail
Jul
MogoBlog MogoLicious Tasty Tip of the Day: The thing about cucumber in a cocktail is that it’s not extraordinary; but is at the same time. It’s adds a cool element, much like cucumbers do to a salad or sandwich. Not overwhelming or overpowering, nope just something almost indiscernible yet still so refreshing.This is so perfect; one of those ultra refreshing cocktails, especially after a hot night of 4th of July fireworks.
