    After my first successful experimentation with cocktail recipe (Hot Apple Toddy) I am on a high spirit to style and shoot more and more drinks, sometimes when first trial comes out well it in a way gives you so much confidence to explore new horizons of possibilities and opportunities. Likewise, I always confined my blog to non alcoholic beverage recipes I was not very sure how would be the response to an alcoholic recipe among my readers, but like always I was surprised to read the comments and feedback, everybody loved it and requested for more simple cocktail recipes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
    • 1 stalk lemongrass, bottom part only, roughly chopped
    • 6 - 8 fresh basil leaves
    • ½ Cup lime juice
    • ⅓ Cup sugar syrup
    • Salt, as per taste
    • Sparkling Himalayan Water, chilled
    • To serve:
    • Ice cubes
    • Cucumber slices and basil leaves for garnish
    • Lemongrass sticks as natural cocktail stirrers

    Directions

    1. Combine cucumber chunks, chopped lemongrass and sugar syrup in a blender. Blend until smooth puree is formed.
    2. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. Discard solids.
    3. In the pitcher add lime juice, salt and cucumber puree. Whisk to combine.
    4. Fill in serving glasses with ice cubes, drop in few basil leaves in each glass. Equally divide the liquid mixture among 4 serving glasses.
    5. Top each glass with chilled Sparkling HImalayan Water.
    6. Garnish with cucumber slices and basil leaves. Serve chilled.
