This delicious cucumber cocktail is a triple threat! It’s super tasty, with a refreshing kick, plus it’s easy to make in a batch and a bit healthy! Plus it looks great at Halloween parties – make that a quadruple threat!
The Gin Goblin has arrived! I love how this gin, green tea and cucumber cocktail turned out. It’s perfect for Halloween night, if you’re having a few friends over to pass out candy. You can make 4-6 six in a batch which is easy for entertaining. It’s extremely refreshing and even somewhat healthy! It has green tea, cucumber, mint and lemon. You can add a little kiwi as well if you want to give it an extra kick of sweetness. I enjoyed sipping a cocktail that wasn’t too sweet and that I didn’t feel guilty about drinking, especially with all of the Halloween candy I’ll be eating!
How To Make A Green Tea And Cucumber Cocktail – Step By Step
- Brew the green tea or buy unsweetened green tea.
- In a pitcher add the green tea, lemon juice and honey.
- Toss the sliced cucumbers and mint in a blender. Pulse until chunky.
- Add half of the green tea mixture to the blender and continue to blend the cucumbers and mint with the green tea until smooth.
- Add the mixture you just blended into the pitcher with the rest of the green tea and stir, until everything is combined.
- Serve with giant ice cubes. Garnish with mint, cucumbers and of course a spooky skeleton!

Top Tips For Green Tea And Cucumber Cocktails
- Make sure your final cocktail mix has been blended smooth
- Use one big ice cube per serving, put the cube in just before giving it out to guests, this way the ice does not dilute the drink too much.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and cucumber.
- Add a spooky stirrer for added drama! 😉
