2025 Garden Get-Together
Let's Make a Mocktail: Cucumber Faux-Jito
So, your herbs are growing. The cucumbers are ready. And those edible flowers? Blooming. Now what?
Ferry-Morse's final episode of the 2025 Garden Get-Together, our host Rebecca shares a refreshing way to bring it all together: a garden-inspired Cucumber Faux-jito. It’s a simple mocktail that looks like it belongs at a garden party — complete with mint, lime, and edible-flower-filled ice cubes made from homegrown blooms.
There’s plenty of room to make it your own, but the heart of it stays the same: fresh ingredients, a little creativity, and a drink that feels like a reward for everything your garden’s been growing.
Just a few herbs, some cucumber, and edible flowers — it’s fun, easy, and so refreshing.
Edible flowers can do more than garnish.
Rebecca uses blooms like cosmos, violas, bachelor’s buttons, and borage to create vibrant flower-infused ice cubes and floral sugar rims — an easy way to elevate any drink. Just make sure you’re only using safe, edible varieties. Ferry-Morse’s Edible Flower Mix is a great place to start.
Garden-fresh ingredients = better flavor.
Cucumber, mint, and lime are muddled to build the base of this mocktail — and if they’re grown at home, they’ll be even more flavorful. Add a splash of simple syrup and soda water, and it’s instantly the most refreshing thing you’ll serve all summer.
