A NEFT Vodka Barrel and a glass of Cucumber Gimlet on a bar counter.

Cucumber Gimlet

A closeup of a Sour, Year Round Cucumber Gimlet drink against a dark background.

Looking for an easy summer cocktail? Just whip up a Cucumber Gimlet. This classic is light and refreshing, with a subtle earthiness from the cucumber and a sharp tartness from the fresh lime juice. While traditionally made with gin, NEFT Vodka adds subtle caramel and vanilla notes which balance the gimlet’s flavor profile nicely. This crisp sip will delight at your garden party, poolside bash, or BBQ.
