Cucumber Gin is an aromatic premium gin from The English Drinks Company. The contemporary twist of cucumber, combined with a delicate juniper base make for a light subtle sweetness.
It’s this delicate balance that makes it perfect for a Smoked Salmon with Cucumber Gin Granita, a light and refreshing snack with a cucumber kick.
