Mango Cucumber Cocktail

Nighttime summer drinks are the best. A cool drink in hand, as you look up at the stars, making a wish on the first one you lay your eyes on. The cool breeze brushing against your bare arms, a mosquito passing through takes a bite, ahhh...summertime. I will take the summer over the winter any day, those pesky bugs included. Good laughs and something simple being grilled. A lightening bug passing through to illuminate the darkness.The simpleness of summer is beautiful. I think this is a nice drink to enjoy on a summer night. Cheers!

  • 8 oz. mango juice, or smoothie type juice
  • 2 oz. cucumber vodka
  • 4 oz. seltzer
  • a slice of cucumber for decoration
  • mint leaf, ripped into small pieces

In a glass, combine the mango juice, cucumber vodka and the seltzer. Cut a slit in your cucumber slice and put it on your glass. Now run the outer rim of the glass with a little seltzer and "paste" your ripped mint leaves on the glass. If you aren't a mint fan, you can always leave it out. This makes enough for one. You can also multiply this for a pitcher. It would be great with some chopped cucumber and mint leaves floating around in it! Enjoy!
