Summer finally arrived in Hamburg and the Negroni Week is going full speed. (I'll have one of these nice classic italian aperitifs later this week.)
During this past beautiful warm summer weekend I needed some refreshing lemonade for a good afternoon bbq. So I tried a self-made ginger-cucumber lemonade which is just perfect for this weather. With all the lemonades, it is up to you to add booze to it. With this lemonade I would probably try Hendrick's Gin or a Green Mark Vodka to make some sort Moscow Mule.
