Cucumber Cooler
Ep 3: Lazy Bartender By Drinksdirect.NG
Cool Balcony companion
The Cucumber Cooler isn’t a classic cocktail, It’s not even very well known. But for those who are familiar with it will attest, it’s just the ticket to watch the sun-down in the garden or the balcony. Or looking out the window wishing you had a balcony. The Cucumber Cooler can also be served on the rocks for those who like to nurse their drinks for a little longer.

Instructions
Extra Sangria Recipe Tips
- Just before serving, you can add up to 1 cup of cold sparkling water/club soda to make a sparkling sangria with a more subdued wine flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter sangria, you can make a simple sugar syrup, chill it, and add it to the sangria. To make the sugar syrup, mix together 2-4 tablespoons sugar with an equal amount of hot water and stir until sugar dissolves.
- This is my favorite recipe for warm sangria. Just before serving, place all ingredients in a large saucepan and heat on medium-low, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot but not boiling. Don’t let it boil or else the alcohol will evaporate. In this version, use your favorite spices and winter fruits such as apples, pears, and oranges.
