It's no secret my palate is quirky but I am at present enjoying a beverage I should've bought a case of: cucumber soda! (Caveat bibens! I know nothing about these business sites -- Thirstmonger looks to have the best price.)
Sounds goofy but it's light, sweet and refreshing, lacking the acid "bite" of most soft drinks. Goes right well with overpoweringly-spiced corn chips, that's for sure. Despite not being much of a drinker, I wonder how it would do with some V-8 (spicy-hot for the venturesome), a splash of vodka and a celery-stalk garnish?
Pondering some firearms photography -- stay tuned!
Given my favorite gin and tonic, which is just about my favorite cocktail, is Hendricks' with a quarter cuke... yeah, I'd probably dig that stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a Vietnamese coworker from my Post Office days who I admire greatly because of her stubbornness and pluck. She brought her fav snacks and beverages imported from the Far East to work all the time, and one of them was a "White Gourd Drink."
ReplyDeleteShe had me sample it once, and it was a fairly innocuous and mildly sweet - apparently "white gourd" is really a white melon and not a squash.
I'm not sure about a cucumber drink but I recently read about a healthy alternative which apparently can positively influence a few personal problems I experience from time to time. I'm giving it a try, I'm up to two bottles a day so far. See what you think.

If not cucumber, Dr. Brown's Celery Soda seems to do well in supermarkets here in R.I. Haven't tried it, but have been tempted to.
