Single mint leaf, or small mint sprig

Instructions

  1. Add the mint leaves, cucumber slices and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.

  3. Add the gin and the juice.

  4. Add ice and shake until chilled.

  5. Double strain into a coupe.

Hints

  1. You can often replace muddling cucumber slices by adding cucumber juice instead. This will impart a greener color and a slightly more vegetable flavor. You can replace the 3 slices by 15ml / ½ oz of cucumber juice.
