Had a lovely non alcoholic cocktaillast week in the Slug and Lettuce - i consisted of red bull, cucumber, lime and fresh mint over crushed ice but noit sure of the quanties or methodof making this - does anyone know - it really was a lovely refreshing drink and i wouldlike to re-create it at home. Did email slug and lettuce but they haven't answered!!

Hi Janet - Since the Slug and Lettuce was the only thing that came up when I searched, my guess is that they invented it.

Their website just list the ingredients, which are:

Garden Fusion
Cucumber, fresh lime juice, sugar syrup and mint are muddled, topped with Red Bull and served long over crushed ice.

You could just try various amounts of each - muddle them, top them with Red Bull and give them a try until you duplicate it.

I am sure you already know that sugar syrup is just equal amounts of sugar and water heated until the sugar melts.

Thanks BBWCHATT, I finally got answer from Slug and Lettuce and recipe is as follows:-Ingredients:



125ml Red Bull

1 x � lime wedge to squeeze

1 x lime wedge

8 x mint leaves

4 x cucumber slices

10ml sugar syrup (or sugar if you can�t get hold of this)



Method



For best results you need to use crushed ice. We have an ice crusher but you can do it a similar way by putting ice in a bag and smacking it with a rolling pin!

Muddle the lime, cucumber and sugar in base of a glass. (To do this just crush everything up with a spoon), gently muddle in the mint, without bruising. Half fill glass with ice leaving spoon in the bottom, pour in � can red bull, stir then fill with more ice to the top. Garnish with mint and enjoy!


It really is lovely refreshing drink and well worth trying
