Green smoothies are everywhere, so why shouldn’t we blend up the usual green smoothie suspects to create a ‘healthier’ gin cocktail? This Cucumber and Mint G&T is light, refreshing, and icy cold. I only added a spoonful of white sugar to sweeten up this cocktail, but you can omit or if you prefer, swap out for honey or maple syrup. How I made this Cucumber and Mint Malfy Gin and Tonics For this G&T, I blended the cucumber, mint, sugar and lime juice in my Nutribullet. I then poured…
