This drink is sophisticated, perfectly balanced and refreshingly simple. While an overly sweet cocktail may be enjoyable at first sip, it can quickly become overwhelming. The cucumber gimlet, however, strikes the ideal harmony between subtle sweetness and bright tartness, and it's incredibly easy to make.
