Refreshing. Bubbly. Tasty! This cocktail is perfect for those days when you want a boozy drink and you’re craving something light and refreshing. Cucumber Lime Vodka Splash, made with only three ingredients, is a cocktail you (and your friends!) will love. Grab a glass, and let’s get started!
To make this cocktail a delightful one, you must start with its base: Smirnoff Cucumber Zero Sugar Infusions Cucumber & Lime Vodka. I discovered this flavored vodka when strolling the aisles of my neighborhood liquor store in search of something flavorful but less heavy in sugar than rum.
I added LaCroix Lime Sparkling Water, fresh cucumber, and garnished with fresh lime and mint leaves.

I adore Weston for its abundance of shops and attractions, including wineries, distilleries, and unique lodging, which is why we’ve visited more than once. 
If you like to explore outdoors, the area provides stunning trails and an overlook you don’t want to miss at 
The town was established in Northwest Missouri in 1837 and sits near Weston Bend State Park, a must-stop for those who prefer to opt outside and enjoy tree-covered trails for walking or biking, overnight camping areas, or an off-leash dog park.
Founded by German immigrants, Weston Brewing Company has operated since 1842. The walls are covered in black-and-white photos from the past. 
The cellar pub was originally used to make lager beer and was built six stories underground. It closed during Prohibition and remains the second oldest brewery west of the Hudson River.
Sitting there, sipping a Guinness and admiring the stone walls covered in historic memorabilia, we felt transported to 1842, when the original brewery opened.
Expect a short wait if arriving at the Tin Kitchen for lunch or dinner on a busy weekend.
We enjoyed a wine flight in the tasting room, located on the top floor as you enter the outdoor stairs. I was impressed by the award-winning wine selection.
One of the white wines I sampled was poured from a can. They sell wine by the bottle, but three of the varieties come in 4-packs. You can also purchase wine by the bottle.
The supreme-style pizza was delicious, and the natural setting adjacent to Bear Creek made the experience spontaneous and fun. 
Sitting on the front porch, we enjoyed a bird’s-eye view of downtown activity. Weston Wine Company’s game collection will impress you if you like to play trivia or board games while imbibing. 
The ice cream is creamier than typical soft-serve and tastes richer in flavor, similar to a custard. We had already eaten lunch, so we skipped ordering a cheese sandwich, opting instead to buy a wedge of cheese to savor with wine at our vacation rental. 
We loved the concept so much that we returned for a second visit, and this time we joined others downstairs, where people watched a televised football game or played board games. 
PRO TIP: Look closely at the table lamps and furnishings. Some items are for sale. 
It’s a members-only space from Monday through Thursday, but opens to the public for tastings and pours on Fridays and Saturdays.
The following stores are some of my favorites along Main Street. 
I heard one woman exclaim how much she loved the store’s “pretty stained glass.” The store’s motto fits. It’s a place with “an eclectic faire.”
If you know someone of Polish heritage, they’ll likely appreciate any gift from the store.
Don’t miss the five-panel timeline outside that starts with the town’s establishment in 1837, noting tobacco farming and distilling milestone years, and ending with the town’s 175th anniversary in 2012.
Families love The Play Zone, petting zoo, ziplines, and two-acre corn maze. Other fall-only activities include Hay Mountain, Corn Crib, and an old-fashioned carousel. 
We kept our visit low-key, choosing to shoot fall-themed photos from the “big chair,” and ate cider donuts while sipping a flight of hard fruit ciders. A band played live music on the patio. 
The grounds at Holladay Distillery are expansive and stretch as far as your eye can see from the road. An outdoor patio and Adirondack chairs on the lawn are preferred gathering places. 
In the early 1800s, Ben Holladay purchased gallons of whiskey for 25 cents and then sold a sample shot for the same price.
You’ll pay a small fee for tastings, and a seasonal cocktail like the one pictured above costs around $15.
The current owners have upgraded this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home with modern luxuries and a country aesthetic. It’s the ideal, romantic getaway for a couple because the lack of distractions and patio conversations help you reset.
Memory foam mattresses are extra soft for those who want to feel enveloped while they slumber. You’ll feel spoiled, stepping out from the deep soaker tub to radiant heated bathroom floors.
