A bit ashamed to admit that I made four of these this afternoon, but I must say they were all delicious! Tweaked it just a bit to lessen the bitterness - 2 ounces Hendricks, 3/4 ounce lime juice, 1 ounce St. Germain. Thanks for the great recipe!

Superb using St Elder liqueur instead of St Germaine!

Made two of these on Sunday.  So delicious.  I usually drink Gin and Tonics and Hendricks is my favorite.  Will definitely make this again.  Nice way to use the cucumbers in the garden too!

I had a bottle of St. Germain sitting in the cabinet waiting for it's calling.  This is my new favorite cocktail!!!
It's fresh, tart, aromatic, refreshing, amazing........Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

We tried this last night and made it exactly as you listed up here.  After a quick taste, we added about 1 tsp. simple syrup per glass.  This is a lovely, refreshing cocktail.

I love cucumber, I love lime, I love St Germaine’s, and with gin, this an elegant and oh so refreshing cocktail! It is fabulous, thanks for sharing.

perfect cocktail, really easy, not to sweet not too tart. Will be making many more.

I am up here in Tahoe about to have a Zoom Cocktail Party with my two Besties who I wen to Ireland and Scotland with. The store was out of Elderflower Syrup so I bought the Hendricks GIn with Elderflower in
it. It is really refreshing - I added Burnt Sugar syrup. And it was delicious.

I was looking for a recipe to make with elderflower syrup and come across this one. It was incredible! I used a classic gin because that’s all I had, and it turned out to be a delicious cocktail! I also added jalapenos and it has become my husband’s new favorite drink! Thank you for the recipe!

Made this with Sky Vodka and fresh key limes from the garden.  Soooo good!

I have been making this on repeat almost every weekend.  Love the little oxo brand measuring jigger too.  I always make it with vodka, as I am not a gin fan. I serve over ice in a copper Moscow mule type mug as they keep everything nice and cold.  I garnish with a few fresh raspberries and mint leaves in lieu of the cucumber slice.  Very refreshing.

Fantastic! Perfect for the first weekend of summer, so refreshing. Love discovering a new cocktail. We’ll be making this many more times!

Simple and easy to make, yet the complexity of the finish belies the economy of effort! Absolutely enjoyed it.

I add a little club soda &amp; 1/4 tsp sugar...so nice &amp; light for summer.I also use cucumber melon mixer instead of fresh cucumbers
Thanks !

Ooooh, that is good! Just bought my st Germaine yesterday and googled a recipe! Yours came up- fabulous, ty! I’m a tanquerey devotee but just discovered Hendricks and love it. The cucumber is a terrific flavor profile here!

I definitively say ***** (5 stars)!

Made this with The Botanist Gin tonight.  Super Yummy !  Will make again for sure.  Thanks for the recipe !

I knew I had to make this cocktail because they only Jen I like it's Hendrix! I'd already been making cucumber martinis and the elderflower added is absolutely fabulous. Can't wait to make this for my goddess girlfriends estimation point

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I made it with vodka and it was wonderful!!!
