Poisons: Good-for-you cocktails

Cucumber gimlet at Pazo

Ingredients: Hendrick’s Gin, fresh lime juice and cucumber water

Damage: $14.50

Skinny: The cucumber flavor in Pazo's drink is subtle, and mostly you get a very strong icy gin flavor, which is refreshing in an in-your-face kind of way. Plus, cucumber lovers can satisfy cravings for vitamin C with the chunks of cucumber that linger in the drink and the cucumber spear garnish. The spear totally chills out in the glass, becoming more like a cukesicle, which does go oh-so-nicely with gin.
