Confessions of a Cucumber Salesman….in London

Last week, I was in the UK for work. Although my time there was primarily filled with juggling tasks, I managed to carve out some fun on the weekends. Work hard, play hard…right? Hands down, the most memorable drink I tried there was Confessions of a Cucumber Salesman. I know you thought I came up with this blog title with my own creative wit….but, not this time. It’s best to explain this one without any chaser.

I visited the London Cocktail Club on Old Street, which is where I tried this amazing drink. What’s in it? This cool, powerful, tangy goodness has cucumbers (of course), elderflower, lemon, prosecco, and Grey Goose La Poire. Don’t ask me what proportion of each ingredient is in the drink. I have no idea. All I know is I could really go for another one soon. Somehow, the drink cleverly catered to my sweet, sour, spicy and tangy senses all in one sip. Amazing.

Believe me, if you have this drink (or a close variation of it), you won’t be disappointed. If so, then you may just need to get your tastebuds checked. It’s that good. London brought their best foot (and shaker) forward with the first international edition of Thirsty Thursday. Bottoms up!
