My fiery disposition requires the cooling effects of cucumbers in summer’s heat. But at the same time, I can’t resist spicing up a cocktail. The chili peppers must be ready to harvest at the same time for a good reason. Cheers to this concoction that has it all — mellow cucumber juice, tart lemon, spicy Thai basil and birds eye chili, with a touch of sweetness from watermelon and simple syrup.
