The best green cocktail is a mojito made from fresh, fresh ingredients - including the mint growing in my garden. I like it with lots of fresh squeezed lemon and lime juice and a Nicaraguan rum is best if possible!

muddle cukes and thyme in vodka. until a cloudy. strain into a shaker.
add crushed ice, the lime juice, simple syrup and sparkling water. Shake and pour. Serve up with a sprig float.

The crushed cuke skin leaves the palest of green color so the cocktail is beautiful to look at as well as fantastic to drink!
