Maggotini
Let's jump right into the Halloween spirit with a Maggotini. Did just get the chills from re-reading that word? But don't worry, no maggots were harmed in this cocktail creation. They're peeled and sliced cucumbers and it's suggested to thicken the liquid with gooey piles of cucumber pulp—for stomach churning effect. Cheers!
2 oz Gin
4 oz Tonic
Splash soda
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz cucumber juice
1 tsp simple syrup (OR blue agave sweetener)
Peel cucumber, halve and scoop out seeds/pulp (with small spoon). Press pulp in mesh strainer for ‘cucumber juice.’ Finely dice cucumber and add to drink. Stir to blend (or use shaker) gin, tonic, lime and cucumber juices and simple syrup. Splash with soda.
