One day my girlfriend and I were swapping horror stories about our feral children, dusty homes & bottomless laundry hampers and it hit us: We need a drink. 

​

But as any woman that's shoved a tiny human out of their nether-region knows, our bodies look for any excuse to bloat these days. And alcohol happens to be one of their favorites. 

​

Enter, the Low-Glycemic Cucumber Mint Gimlet. No-added-sugar vodka, soda water, lime juice, muddled mint & fresh cucumber slices - it's basically a salad in a cocktail as far as my graduate degree is concerned.

​

With flavonoid antioxidants in the cucumber proven to reduce swelling, and fresh mint - known to help relax the GI muscles and ease discomfort - finally, a friend with bennies in the mixed drink department. 

​

So hats off to you, desperation, for breeding creativity.

And in this case, liquid patience.
