Notes

I tried this, but alas, didn’t have a carbonator, and my drink wasn’t chilled enough. And I didn’t have enough cucumber spheres. But the ones that came out were so fantastic. The Green Chartreuse adds something interesting, and contrasts well with the cucumber. I’m also going to brush up on my frozen reverse spherification.
