Cooling aloe syrup gets a soothing helping hand from cucumber juice in this extra-refreshing take on a Gin & Tonic. The syrup is made with pineapple and aloe water (readily available at any health food store or Asian market), which gives the drink a tropical kick. It’s a day on the beach (and the cure for a day on the beach) in one great cocktail.
