This week I made my Sweet’N Low Basil Cucumber Gimlet as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars SweetNLowStars.
We're back at creating some tasty treats for our made with HAPPY {Hour} series and this week we're sharing our
Basil Cucumber Gimlet
Low Calorie of course and we made ours with vodka, but could be just as delicious with gin.
Here's how you make it.
Ingredients:
Yields 4 drinks
- 8 oz -Vodka
- 4 oz - Water
- 4 slices of Cucumber (2 per serving)
- 2 Lime (Juice of 1 lime and the other sliced for garnish)
- a bunch of Basil
- Sweet’N Low - 1 packet
Directions:
In a shallow pitcher toss in the sliced cucumber We halved the slices. Add the packet of Sweet’N Low and muddle it into the cucumber till it dissolves. The Sweet'NLow not only makes this cocktail taste delicious, it makes it low calorie and diabetic friendly. Add the vodka (from the freezer preferable) and water and the juice of one lime and stir. Pour into each glass, and add a good size basil leaf (roughly chopped or julienned) for garnish into each glass. Add a slice of lime to the glass for garnish. 
Viola, you have yourself a tasty low calorie cocktail.
