Co-owner Huston Davis believes muddled cucumber gives this drink a refreshing quality reminiscent of fresh-squeezed lemonade.

Plus: Simple Syrup

  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
  • Ice
  • 2 ounces chilled ginger ale
    1. In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle the diced cucumber with the Simple Syrup. Add the bourbon, lemon juice, lime juice and enough ice to fill a highball glass; shake well. Pour into a highball glass, top with the ginger ale and garnish with the cucumber spear.
