How to Make It
Muddle the cucumber
Add cucumber slices to the bottom of a highball glass. Gently press with a muddler — just enough to release the juice, not to pulverize.
Add ice and vodka
Fill the glass with ice. Pour FLORENA Curve Vodka over the ice.
Squeeze citrus
Add fresh lemon or lime juice directly into the glass.
Top and garnish
Top with sparkling water. Give one gentle stir. Garnish with a citrus wedge on the rim and an extra cucumber slice if you like.
Bartender Notes
Why FLORENA Curve?
FLORENA Curve is built for mixing. Smooth, neutral, and clean — it lets the cucumber and citrus lead without getting in the way. Ben Roethlisberger's choice for a reason.
Don't overthink it
This drink proves great ingredients don't need tricks. Cucumber is hydrating and cooling. Fresh citrus is bright. Sparkling water keeps it light. FLORENA Curve ties it together.
Variations
Add a few mint leaves for a more herbaceous take. Swap sparkling water for tonic for a slightly bitter edge. Either way — two minutes, one glass, no fuss.
