Jimmytheseeker offers a refreshing summer cocktail that smoothes out the rough edges from a long afternoon of cooking. The cucumber and mint flavors cool everything down, and the sweet touch of agave nectar softens the sharpness of the rum. We both thought the drink's taste improved after the mint and cuke had "rested" in the glass for a bit. I might make up the cocktails, minus the ice, refrigerate them for 15 minutes before guests arrive, then add the ice just before serving. Delicious! - Lizthechef

It was a pleasure to test your delicious cocktail for an EP just now. Sent in my review and a photo, not as good a shot as yours...Thanks for the opportunity!

This cocktail is like summer in a glass with a slice of refreshing cucumber goodness as a garnish! What a brilliant combination of ingredients! I will definitely make these for my next get together...I know that my guests will love it as much as I do!
