Built right in the glass, this Cucumber Aloe G&T keeps things light and bright: cucumber adds crisp garden freshness, aloe brings soft floral notes, and the tonic water ties it all together with classic quinine bitterness and citrus peel. It feels elevated enough for a dinner party but is easy enough for any weeknight pour.
The Cucumber Aloe G&T is a modern, spa-fresh riff on the classic gin and tonic. Crisp Gin or a Zero Proof Gin Alternative gets layered with cooling cucumber juice, fragrant Chareau Aloe Liqueur, and the bright, quinine-forward snap of Top Hat East India Tonic Water. It’s a tall, highball-style cocktail that tastes like a garden party in a glass — clean, herbal, and wildly refreshing.
