- 2 ozs gin (beefeater or plymouth)
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- cucumber (muddled, and mint)
- cucumber (slice)
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).
