This Smirnoff Ice Valley Fruit Cup Is A Summer Picnic In A Cocktail

What could be more refreshing tasting than a chilled fruit salad in the sweltering heat of summer? Taking all the ingredients and putting them in a cocktail instead, duh. Rather than eating your grapes like an ordinary snack (snooze), combine them with the crunchiest of cucumbers, some great citrus fruits, mint, gin, ginger beer, and Smirnoff Ice Grape for the ultimate beat-the-heat treat. Perfect for the park, the beach, or the backyard -- well actually, you’ll want to drink these babies everywhere. Recipe by Lucinda Sterling.
