COOL HAND CUKE Everybody we know has spent the last few years hooked on a certain gin with refreshing notes of cucumber. Everyone, that is, except for the half of the population that can’t stand gin. But now the vodka set can get in the game with Square One’s organic cucumber vodka. One whiff of its refreshing aroma (and, okay, maybe we took a few shots, too) had the whole office immediately conjuring cocktails: Bloody Marys, one girl said. Mint and club soda, said another. (Actually, that was the same girl, the one who killed the sample in two swigs.) Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you mix it with. Because drinking any cocktail with this all-natural tipple will have you sitting as cool as a…you know. $35 a 750ml-bottle at Sam’s Wine & Spirits (50 E Roosevelt Rd at Wabash Ave, 312-663-9463).
