I love how the fresh cucumbers and lime juice add a light, zesty flavor to this cocktail. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup.
Instructions
Making this cocktail is fun and easy. Here’s a simple guide I follow:
- Rim the Glass: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and dip it in salt. I find this adds a nice touch to the drink.
- Muddle: In a shaker, muddle the cucumber slices until they’re nice and juicy.
- Mix: Shake it all up for about 20 seconds until it’s well-chilled.

This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately, while it’s fresh and cold.
