Cucumber-Fennel Fizz

Ingredients

  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1/4 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce unfiltered apple cider vinegar
  • 4 ice cubes
  • 1 inch fresh fennel
  • 1 can club soda or ginger ale
  • 2 short stalks fresh fennel, for garnish
  • 10 frozen blueberries
  • 3 ounces gin (optional)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Skin cucumber, cut into 4 chunks, and toss in a blender.

Step 2: Add lime juice, apple cider vinegar, ice, and 1-inch fresh fennel.  Add gin (if using).  Blend until smooth and foamy, about 2 minutes.  Don’t be tempted to add more liquid unless your cucumber is exceptionally dry and it refuses to blend (in which case, add a dash of soda).

Step 3: Split the cucumber mix between two glasses, adding either club soda or ginger ale in a 1:1 ratio.  Add 5 frozen blueberries to each glass.  Garnish with a sprig of fresh fennel.
