Cucumber Fresh

Cucumber Fresh is an ultra-refreshing, garden-fresh cocktail that uniquely pairs crisp botanicals with a bubbly, low-ABV finish. It begins by muddling 50g of fresh cucumber slices with 30 ml of rich agave nectar and 25 ml of fresh lime juice in a shaker to extract the cool cucumber juices and essential peel oils. Shaken with ice and 50 ml of Mezcal Viviente Blend, the mixture is strained over fresh ice and topped off with a crisp light beer for an unexpected effervescent twist. This crisp, lively drink is completed with a garnish of thin cucumber slices and a fresh sprig of mint.
