With the lovely cucumbers in our share this week, I'm sure none of us will have a problem using them in salads and simply snacking on them with dip. They also taste great as an alternative garnish in martinis. Here is a my own adaptation of a classic summer cocktail. Enjoy!

- Pimm's No. 1 *
- Sparkling Lemonade
- cucumber slices

- mint sprigs

Directions: Mix two parts Pimm's with 3 parts sparkling lemonade. Garnish with cucumber slice, lemon wedge and mint sprig.
