Recipe: Cucumber Sunrise

From time to time, we share recipes from some of our travel providers. Today, we visit the Alchemy Bar on Carnival Cruise Line for a great cocktail perfect to beat the summer heat.

ALCHEMY BAR’S CUCUMBER SUNRISE

INGREDIENTS:
2 oz Belvedere vodka
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz Monin watermelon syrup
2 cucumber wheels
3/4 oz orange juice

THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO DO:
Drop the cucumber wheels into an empty pint glass (or cocktail shaker). Muddle those wheels.
Add the rest of the ingredients. Add ice, then cover it to prepare for shaking.
Shake it for five seconds — no more, no less… unless you really feel like it — then strain into a chilled glass. (Double-strain if possible — first strain through the regular strainer, then a fine strainer.)
Fancy bonus! Okay, maybe it’s not that fancy. But hey — why not serve with a cucumber wheel on the glass?
