This refreshing frozen cocktail is perfect for those sweltering summer days! Using tonic water ice cubes (you literally just freeze tonic water in an ice cube tray!) helps to add a little extra flavor and keep it icy cold without watering it down. Using regular ice cubes, in combination with the tonic ice cubes, helps add to the slush factor.
To a blender add gin, lime juice, tonic water, and cucumber
Blend well to pulverize the cucumber

The taste of the medicine on its own was not palatable so soldiers would commonly mix it with sugar, water, and some of their gin ration. The classic cocktail was born. A refreshing and light flavored drink, it's still one of the world's most common and popular cocktails.
