  it was a lovely warm summer evening here in france, and as we have a glut of cucumbers at present decided to try this out on some friends who were coming for dinner - it was perfect!! Followed the recipe - apart from adding a little of our own homemade elderflower champagne instead of some of the soda water and the result was brilliant - extremely refreshing and drinkable. Definitely one for the summer!

  We did this for a royal wedding party and it was a huge hit. So much so that we ran out of cucumber much to everyone's disappointment. Would definitely make again.
