Weekends needn’t be three days long or holiday stuffed to make one feel the need for recovery. Late nights filled with friends, good times and fun memories catch up quickly once Monday morning rolls around. Keep sharing good times throughout the work week with a Monday non-alcoholic pick-me-up Mocktail with friends. The Clear Conscience drink recipe created at Seattle’s Restaurant Zoë is a sure fire responsible choice to meet the work week head on in revitalizing style.
Clear Conscience
1/4 of a Tangerine
8 thin Cucumber Slices
1 Lemon Verbena Leaf or Kaffir Lime Leaf
1-1/2 ounce Fresh Lime Juice
1-1/2 ounce Simple Syrup
2 ounces Club Soda
Thin Sliced Cumber Garnish
Juice tangerine and drop into cocktail shaker with cucumber slices and crushed lemon verbena leaves. Bruise lightly with muddler. Add limejuice, simple syrup and ice. Shake to blend and chill. Add club soda and gently shake until chilled. Strain into martini glass. Float thin slice cucumber in drink.

This sounds delicious! I might have to figure out a way to make this at work.
