Actor Stanley Tucci was showing off his stellar bartending skills during quarantine — so I had to have him join me for happy hour on Instagram Live. (Well, it was more like a nightcap for him, with the time difference.) Watch as Stanley shows me how to make the best summer cocktail, the perfect drink for summer (though if you make it sooner, we won’t tell on you!).

Stanley Tucci’s Summer Cocktail

Ingredients

3 slices of cucumber

2-3 mint leaves

1/3 cup whiskey

1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

1 1/2 tablespoon elderflower liqueur

1 1/2 tablespoon simple syrup (mix 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil until sugar is dissolved)

Club soda

Ice

Directions

Place 1-2 mint leaves and 2 slices of cucumber into a cocktail shaker and muddle the ingredients together.

Pour alcohol into your mint cucumber mixture. Add the simple syrup and lemon juice.

Add ice into the shaker and shake.

Pour into a rocks glass over ice. Garnish with the remaining cucumber slice and mint leaf. Top off the cocktail with a splash of club soda.
