Equipment

You just need a cocktail shaker, a muddler, and a strainer.
A shaker helps mix the ingredients well.
You’ll also need a measuring jigger to get the quantities right.

Finally, grab a glass, preferably a tall one, to serve your drink with a touch of flair. 🥤
A small cutting board and knife will come in handy for slicing lemons and cucumbers.

Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make this delicious concoction:

1 lemon sliced 🍋
½ cucumber sliced
1 oz. simple syrup
2 oz. gin or vodka optional
Ice cubes
4 oz. club soda
Mint leaves for garnish

Feel free to leave out the alcohol for a refreshing mocktail! The combination of lemon and cucumber is the star here, adding a zesty and clean flavor.

Instructions

Start by muddling the lemon and cucumber slices in your shaker. This releases their juices and essential oils, making the drink flavorful.

Add the ice, simple syrup, and spirit (if using) into the shaker.
Shake everything together for about 15 seconds.
Pour the mixture into your glass through a strainer.

Add the club soda on top for a fizzy finish. Stir gently.
Lastly, garnish with a few mint leaves and a slice of cucumber or lemon on the rim.

Then, it’s time to sip and enjoy! 😋

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup, depending on your preference. If you like it extra tangy, a splash of fresh lemon juice can be added.

For a stronger cucumber flavor, let the cucumber slices sit in the shaker longer.

Feel free to be creative! Maybe add a dash of other fruits or herbs for a fun twist.
