It's the unofficial start of summer and I have been looking forward to this Friday for a long time now and it's finally here! But it's raining and not feeling much like summer on the east coast, as I have my comfy sweater on to keep warm, the windows are closed shut and I'm contemplating making some steaming hot chicken and leek soup. And if the outdoor temperature gauge is working right, it's about 45 degrees outside. It figures with our long winter and springs' delay that the unofficial start of summer is delayed too but that doesn't mean that we can't celebrate with a summer feeling cocktail...
inside with our sweaters on and maybe a nice blanket to keep warm. ;) Have a great, memorable weekend and a thoughtful Memorial Day. Enjoy!
- 2 Kirby cucumbers
- 2 large sorrel leaves
- 4oz. cucumber vodka
- 1 teaspoon xylitol
- juice of 1/2 a lemon or more
- 12 oz.can lemon or lime flavored seltzer
Remove the inner vein of the sorrel leaf and discard. Roughly the sorrel leaf along with the cucumber and toss into a blender with the vodka until well blended. Add the xylitol and the lemon juice until well combined. Divide among 2 glasses and do the same with the seltzer and give them a gentle stir. Adjust the taste as needed. Serves 2.
