The Cucumber Fizz
About
The Cucumber Fizz is what happens when freshness meets celebration. Built as a tall, easygoing highball, this cocktail blends cooling cucumber juice with the soft, golden sweetness of pineapple, then lifts everything with a splash of soda. Teremana Blanco keeps the base clean and agave-forward, while agave syrup gently rounds the edges without weighing the drink down.
What makes this cocktail work is the balance. Without soda, the juice blend would feel rich and dense. With it, everything opens up - lighter, brighter, and far more drinkable. Served over ice in a highball glass, The Cucumber Fizz feels casual and refreshing, the kind of drink you can enjoy more than one of without thinking too hard about it. It’s relaxed, social, and quietly joyful - perfect for warm days and long conversations.
Shaken or Stirred? Built. Keep it simple and let the fizz do the work.
