We had a cucumber overload at the house this weekend so I created a cocktail to capitalize on it. This cocktail pairs lime, cucumber, and blackberry flavors so it's lively and refreshing. Gin highballs are so easy and perfect for hot summer days. I highly recommend drinking this slowly and enjoying it with a nice book and a backyard or front yard view. It pairs well with appetizers and light food.
