Dry Cucumber

I've reviewed multiple flavors from Dry in the past. They've always left me disappointed but being that their initial target was for use in cooking, and then as mixers, I suppose it's to be expected. I continue for the sake of curiosity when I come across another flavor from them but in all honesty, I may have a slight bias by this stage going in that I probably won't like it, so there's my disclosure. 

I've never had a cucumber soda to my recollection, but I imagine this will approximate something like carbonated cucumber water found in spas or nail salons. It takes a moment after opening and a very strong whiff, but it does smell like freshly sliced cucumber. After a draw off the bottle, I think it's quite like a cucumber that hasn't yet full ripened. I can get used to the cucumber melon flavor from Gatorade because the melon sweetens and mellows the cucumber flavor, but this bottle is strong. That's actually saying something for a drink from Dry because I've always felt flavors, I have tasted from them in the past were far too weak. This one has a punch, unfortunately I think you need to be a bigger fan of cucumbers to enjoy it. I understand there are some alcoholic cocktails that use cucumber water so this may also be of use for those.
