  • Juiced with the skin on this was just beautiful green in the glass. Otherwise simple but solid.
  • Like a more interesting daiquiri (but the bit of salt from the muddling also brought a margarita to mind). Nice use of agricole. — ★★★★★
  • Accessible and refreshing. Cuke is complemented by melony/pear flavors from the St. Germain and bright tropical fruit. — ★★★★★

Comments

Made w/ Smith & Cross (not sure if that's an appropriate sub), and a cucumber simple syrup. Had to boost the lime, but a great drink

Glad you liked it! Smith & Cross doesn't taste like a white agricole, but it checks off the important agricole boxes of strong, earthy, and funky, so I can see why it worked here.
