Summer is coming to a close, and while I'm beyond ready for a touch of fall weather, I am not ready to give up refreshing cocktails on a hot day.  And I might not.  This week has been strange because I started my week on Tuesday after getting back in town on Monday and my whole week has been thrown.  A great cocktail is always needed on weeks like these and this cucumber mint cocktail with honeysuckle vodka is going to get me through to the weekend.

I have a new obsession with Cathead Vodka's Honeysuckle Vodka.  It's perfect to make a light and tasty drink and can be mixed with as few or many ingredients as you like.  It's also really good with just club soda and lime.  Nothing wrong with that at all.

Sometimes I like to be fancy though.  

I am a cucumber in my cocktail kind of girl and thought that the flavor combination would pair nicely with the honeysuckle notes of the vodka.  I was right.  I also added some fresh mint and lemon juice and the result was a super refreshing drink that I think you are going to love!

I hope you aren't tired of Thirsty Thursdays around here.  I love starting my weekend a day early with a yummy cocktail, and I'm pretty sure if we are friends, you do too.

Cucumber. Mint. Lemon. Honeysuckle. Booze.  Yes.  I'll take two.
