Why you are pouring this tonight

Tom Collins with three slices of cucumber muddled in. Light, refreshing, the most-ordered Collins variant in summer.

What to pour it alongside

Sushi, smoked trout, summer salads.

Notes

Use Lebanese (continental) cucumber, thinner skin, less seedy. Hendrick’s gin (which is cucumber-distilled) doubles down on the cucumber note.
