Ok, not original, but it is FREAKIN' HOT!!
Too hot to blog...too hot to go to the gym (even though I should be there instead of procrastinating by blogging...) just too darn hot!!
But I did come across a refreshing recipie. I haven't tried it yet. It's been too hot to go get the cucumbers... but it sounds yummy. I stumbled across the recipie at Epicurious' website. http://www.epicurious.com/drinking/drink_views/views/235327
Here's the recipie:
ingredients:
2 large cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds total) 1/2 cup gin 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon sugar 1 cup ice cubes 4 lime slices
prep:
Slice four 1/4-inch-thick slices from 1 cucumber. Peel and coarsely chop remaining cucumbers; transfer to processor and purée until smooth. Pour through fine strainer set over large bowl, pressing on solids in strainer. Discard solids in strainer.Mix 1 cup cucumber juice, gin, lime juice, and sugar in pitcher; stir until sugar dissolves. Add ice; mix well. Immediately strain mixture into 4 small Martini glasses. Garnish with lime and cucumber slices and serve. Makes 4.
If you make it before I do...let me know how it tastes! Until then, stay cool!
