Friends: The solution has been found. Why sweat in pain and muck through another hot evening? The heat can be conquered, and the Collin's family of gin drinks offers a weapon you won't regret crafting. It's now my new favorite drink of the season: The Cucumber-Basil Collins.
It's a fun effort: Infuse hendricks or tanqueray with cucumber slices in an air-proof container for about 3 days. Shake it once a day (and smell it...aaahhhh). Done. Get a Collins Glass. Now all you need is basil, 1/2 oz simple syrup, juice from one lime, and a dash of club soda. Lightly muddle the basil with the simple syrup, pour in the gin, then the ice, mix, and there you have a drink.... WITH a very drunk cucumber from the infused gin container to garnish.
Enjoy. And keep cool!
