Today is the 1st July and it marks the beginning of Dry July for many people around the world.

To kick start, I have created a very delicious and refreshing sip that won’t make you miss alcohol at all!

• 5 slices of fresh cucumber
• 5 peppercorns
• Good pinch freshly dried mint
• 15ml lime juice

• 60ml sugar free ginger beer
• 60ml sugar free tonic water

How To:

Muddle Cucumber and ginger in a cocktail shaker. Add the juices, mint, cordial and peppercorn. Shake vigorously until combined. Add Gingerbeer and tonic and stir until combined

Serve:

Strain into your favourite cocktail glass that has been filled with ice. Garnish with dehydrated lime, peppercorns, cucumber and fresh bay leaves
