Cucumber Rickey Cocktail

A Rickey is a classic cocktail made with either gin or bourbon, lime juice and soda water. In this case, we didn’t use the spirits. We used a combination of fresh muddled cucumbers and some simple syrup to give a great flavor. 

A classic Rickey is light and refreshing and all about balance of flavor. And we accomplished this in the zero-proof version. Just 4 ingredients make for a simple drink, but full of flavor!

Tips & Tricks

• Garnish – cucumber slices or a lime wheel are perfect for this drink
• Glassware – this one is perfect in a cocktail coupe or over ice in a tumbler. 
• Make it Your Own – add in some mint when you shake, or use mint simple syrup. Use flavored sparkling water or club soda, lemon or lime would be lovely. 
• Booze – you can make this a cucumber gin rickey easily, just add 1.5 ounces of gin or vodka. 

This Non-Alcoholic Cucumber Rickey proves that cocktails don’t need alcohol to shine. Make this endlessly sippable zero proof drink, because this is summer in a glass. Make a Maple Mocktail or Sparkling Tropical Mocktail, too!

 

Make one this weekend!

 

Cheers!
