Mint Cucumber Vodka Cocktail – Friday Cocktail O’Clock

by Randy Matheson Leave a Comment

Mint Cucumber Vodka Cocktail It’s Friday, and after a long week of trudging around in the cold slush thank’s to an early spring snowstorm we’re ready to have some fun with friends. But first we need something light, fresh and smooth to celebrate the launch of the weekend and this cocktail sounded like the perfect answer.

Tonight the folks from Madtini are heading downtown to Tequila Bookworm on Toronto’s Queen Street West to enjoy the tight grooves and rockin’ beats of Abdul Smooth and Nathan Lee, who make up the music project called People Downtown. They are hosting The Media Social, a monthly meetup for media professionals to get together, discuss their work and encourage continued collaboration. If you’re in the Toronto area drop by, hang out and say hello.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Prairie Organic Vodka
  • 1/2 oz Cointreau
  • 3/4 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 10-12 mint leaves
  • 1 English cucumber

Preparation
Carve a spear from an English cucumber to be used later for a garnish. Peel the rest of the cucumber, scrape out the seeds, then cut into it into small chunks. Add the cucumber chunks to a food processor and puree until smooth. Strain the contents through a fine sieve or cheesecloth, squeezing as much liquid out as possible.

Add the sugar, mint leaves, lime juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well, then add the cucumber juice, vodka and cointreau. Shake the combined contents, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add the cucumber spear as a garnish and serve.

by Randy Matheson Leave a Comment

Kahlua & Coke

It Friday and it sure as heck feels like Patio weather to us here in Toronto today. The sun is shining and the temperature outside of our igloos has climbed to a balmy 9 degrees celsius.

We’re throwing caution to the warm breeze and stripping off our gloves, trapper hats and snow pants.  Yes, we’re trying to forget that the temperature is forecasted to drop to -6 C overnight with snow on the way for Sunday.

In the meantime, let’s drink to Friday with something simple, yet delicious: Kahlua and Coke over ice. Cheers!

Ingredients

  • 2 parts Kahlua
  • 3 parts Coke
  • Splash of fresh lime juice

Preparation
Pour Kahlua into a tall cocktail glass. Add ice, then pour coke over the ice. Add a squeeze of lime.
