  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring jigger (1 oz and 2 oz)

Ingredients

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 4-5 thin cucumber slices
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.75 oz simple syrup
  • Club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Garnish: Cucumber ribbon and lime wheel

Instructions

  • Add cucumber slices to the shaker and muddle gently to release their juice.

Notes

Store simple syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Use English cucumbers for their thin skin and fewer seeds.
Fresh lime juice works best - avoid bottled alternatives.
Make it non-alcoholic by replacing vodka with extra club soda.
Pre-slice cucumbers up to 4 hours ahead and store in an airtight container.
