Happy New Year! We're kicking off 2018 with a fun, low-cal vodka soda recipe featuring our Havana cocktail rimmer. 

Infused with lime, mint, raw cane sugar, and of course - grapefruit zest to really bring out citrus and herbal notes to your cocktails. It's also a pretty pastel green that just adds a little bit of oomph to your drink! Get your Instagram ready for this beauty.

For this recipe we're using Sid's Handcrafted Vodka - made from our friends in British Columbia. 

And of course to make this extra refreshing (and super healthy looking) we're infusing cucumber and lime into this classic cocktail.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz Sid's Handcrafted Vodka
• .5 oz cucumber juice
• .5 oz fresh lime juice
• .25 oz simple syrup (optional)
• soda water
• Havana cocktail rimmer 

Instructions:

1. Pour 1 tablespoon of Havana cocktail rimmer on a plate
2. Moisten the rim of your glass with a lime wedge and evenly dip your glass into rimmer
3. Muddle in chopped cucumber and vodka into a cocktail shaker
4. Add ice and lime juice and shake for 30 seconds
5. Strain cocktail mixture into Havana-rimmed glasses
6. Top up with soda water
7. Add lime wedge to garnish (optional)

This refreshing cocktail is our new go-to for the month. We already feel healthier just looking at this beautiful green drink!
