Cool Gin and Cucumber Cocktail
- Gin… 45 ml
- Cucumbers juice.. 45 ml
- Lime Juice… 10 ml
- Cucumbers slice… 3/4 plus more garnish.
- Mint lives 3/4 pice
- Top up Tonic Water
Steps
- Cut your cucumber slices using a mandolin. For the muddling cucumbers, cut circles; for garnish, cut long slices as pictured.
- Lightly muddle mint leaves, cucumber slices and lime wedge in a shaker (light enough that the cucumber stays mostly in tact – you get plenty of cucumber flavor from the juice itself).
- Juice half of a cucumber with a juicer. Muddle extra cucumber if you don’t have a juicer.
- Add gin, cucumber juice and sugar (if using). Shake well and pour over ice.
- Top with tonic water and garnish with more mint and lime if desired.
