The delicious new soda Mr. Q Cumber was working so well in the Cucumber Fresh cocktail at Andrea’s, Wynn master mixologist Patricia Richards decided to cross-utilize this fun and fizzy new ingredient. “I thought, Why not try cucumber with tangerine as a flavor profile combination?” says Richards. “This worked out wonderfully! Then I added the vibrant Solerno Blood Orange liqueur for a little extra pop, along with fresh lime juice.” The result? A refreshing, delicious cocktail guaranteed to put a little sparkle into your night.
