Refreshing. Bubbly. Tasty!

This bubbly 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.

To make my Cucumber Lime Vodka Splash, follow the simple steps in the recipe card below. I promise you’ll appreciate this drink’s flavor profile so much you’ll want to share it with friends at your next get-together. Cheers!

It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere Guava Cocktail

by Leave a Comment

I used to work in a high stress job around over 500 people a day so Jimmy Buffet’s lyrics “it’s five o’clock somewhere” didn’t just run through my head on Fridays but all week long. If you’re like me, one sip of this frothy tropical cocktail and you’ll feel like your toes are sinking into the sand.

When we visit Mexico and stay at an all-inclusive resort, we hear dual blenders firing behind the bar to serve poolside tourists all afternoon. It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere Cocktail doesn’t require any complicated prep or a blender. Simply shake it up and strain into a ice filled glass and you’re on your way to an oasis. Just add flip flops and a lounge chair.
