Ingredients

  • 2 ounces gin (Beefeater or Plymouth)
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 3/4 ounces simple syrup
  • Muddled cucumber and mint
  • cucumber slice

Method

  • Add several mint leaves (no stems) and several cucumber slices into a shaker tin, along with the lime and simple syrup, then muddle for several seconds.
  • Add the gin and a generous amount of ice.
  • Shake vigorously and strain with a Hawthorn strainer into a chilled coupe and garnish with a thin cucumber slice (if it is too thick, it will not float on top, but you can also slice the cucumber to sit on the side of the glass).
