Ever hear of Google?

But even before I found a very easy link -- mint, lime, soda combos.  A 
Cucumber Lime Mojito sort of inspiration?

We are all not internet bartenders. strange people posting incorrect 
information on foreign sites is no basis for a system of mixology.

Believe it or not the mojito is made with rum and it also originated somewhere 
specific.  Now not only have you disgraced the mojito you must discredit 
cucumber vodka also?  Is this the direction we should all go? please let me 
know my whole life has been a lie.

 
Or sans soda, muddle with citrus, 
cucs and mint strained and served up?

mint just floating like a boat in a glass?

Collinses.  Gimlets.  Gibsons.? We have historical data on all of these 
cocktails and none of which where originally made with vodka.

Is this a contest to see how many classic cocktails we can butcher? cucumber 
martini and fucking cucumber sazerac, why the fuck not? 

The Cucumber Bloody Mary is a no brainer.  again, there is alot of data in 
print that indicates this drink was originally made with vodka.  and it didn't 
call for celery, olives, lime juice, spicy green beans, okra, or cucumbers. I 
want to serve drinks not food.  

there is a knife in my eye and you are twisting it.   hambone instigated it, 
it wasn't my idea, but it was a bit rude to suggest someone was stupid for not 
wanting to find answers to questions directly from "google", when in reality 
it is a wise decision to ask this to your peers.

p.s. all great recommendations!


cheers!
