Well friends, today is a great day! Not only are we teaching you how to whip up this cucumber mint cooler recipe, but we’re also teaching a free DIY event at our studio in Houston, TX with Skinnygirl® Cocktails on September 3rd! Yes I know, we’re excited, too! We’re only offering 25 seats though, so be sure to RSVP quickly to reserve your spot!

We’re going to be sipping cucumber cocktails, making DIY patterned glassware, enjoying sweets and bites, plus sending you on your way with an awesome cocktail kit to celebrate the Skinnygirl® Cocktails Tastemakers. You really can’t beat that for a free Thursday night, am I right?

For those of you that aren’t in Houston to be able to enjoy the cocktail action with us, we’ve got an equally awesome Summer sipper for you to enjoy with this cucumber cooler. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing all of the details after the event for you to be able to create your own shindig right at home…

Muddle the cucumber slices and mint leaves with the lime juice, then add ice, vodka, and stevia (you can use less or more Stevia to your sweetness standards!) to the mixture and shake well. Strain over ice and fill the rest of the glass with tonic water, then garnish with a mint sprig and cucumber slice.

We’re excited to DIY with you all in September, so get your crafting hands ready! Naturally there will also be macarons, so it’s always good to be stretched and ready for those, too.
