Cucumber Cooler: Refreshment, Refined
Looking for the ultimate summer serve? Meet the Cucumber Cooler — a bright, botanical cocktail that’s crisp, clean, and oh-so-cooling. With the smooth base of Sipsmith London Dry Gin, the refreshing lift of Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon, and the finishing touch of cucumber and mint, this drink is your go-to for warm afternoons, stylish picnics, and effortlessly chic gatherings.
The Cucumber Cooler is all about elegance in simplicity. It’s a highball that feels elevated yet totally unfussy — a celebration of clean flavours and natural botanicals. The gin brings those classic juniper and citrus notes, while the Double Dutch mixer adds a subtle fruitiness and cooling cucumber twist that softens and balances every sip. Add a ribbon of fresh cucumber and a sprig of mint, and you’ve got a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
Why We Love It
This cocktail is refreshment in its purest form. Light, herbaceous and beautifully balanced, the Cucumber Cooler is the kind of drink that goes down effortlessly and keeps you coming back for more. It’s ideal for gin lovers who enjoy a cleaner, garden-fresh profile and for those moments when you want a cocktail that feels bright, breezy, and just the right amount of botanical.
Perfect For…
Whether you're hosting a garden party, packing a luxury picnic, or simply cooling off in the sunshine, the Cucumber Cooler is the perfect companion. Serve it in tall highball glasses with plenty of ice and garnishes, and it becomes an instant crowd-pleaser — light enough for daytime sipping but classy enough for evening entertaining.
Double Dutch Mixer Match
Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon brings the perfect balance of flavour and fizz to this serve. The cucumber keeps things cool and refreshing, while the watermelon adds a soft sweetness that enhances the botanicals in the gin without overpowering them. The result is a drink that feels smooth, natural, and incredibly drinkable.
Tips for the Perfect Serve
- Use a vegetable peeler: Create long, elegant cucumber ribbons that wrap inside the glass for a stunning finish.
- Fresh mint only: A sprig of mint on top adds aroma and visual appeal — lightly clap it before adding to release its oils.
- Serve chilled: Keep your ingredients and glasses cold for the most refreshing result.
With its clean lines, crisp flavours and just the right amount of flair, the Cucumber Cooler is the kind of cocktail that never goes out of style. It’s fresh, it’s flavourful, and it’s the perfect way to chill out — in every sense of the word.
