It's New Year's Day and maybe you had a few too many cocktails last night or maybe you didn't have enough. Maybe you are tired of something sweet, and want -- or need-- a change of pace.

Try this cocktail from Lucid, a high end brand of absinthe. It's just different enough to be interesting, and it's not overly sweet but there is a touch of sweetness to it -- as you would find in any garden, The cucumber gives it a freshness that is illuminating and changes the absinthian flavor.

Van Gogh's Garden

1 ½ oz. LUCID
½ oz. simple syrup
Club Soda
Kiwi Fruit
Cucumber

Muddle two cucumber wheels & two peeled Kiwi wheels with the simple syrup in a double rocks glass.
Fill with ice and add the Lucid. Top with Club Soda and add an un-peeled Kiwi wheel on the rim
