The French Horse. Interesting cocktail name. Even more interesting cocktail. Mint meets cucumber meets lime meets vodka. They all walk in a bar. What could go wrong? Absolutely nothing. First we created a Marrakesh Mint simple syrup, blitzed up a cucumber and shook it up with vodka and lime. This cool refreshment is our new summertime sip. While the name makes no sense, the drink is 100% sensible.
