- Fill the coupe with ice, pour in the absinthe and add a splash of cold water. Let it sit while you mix the rest.
- Put the white rum, lime juice, simple syrup, mint sprigs and cucumber in a shaker with ice. Add the cucumber as it is, without crushing it.
- Shake hard until the shaker is cold.
- Empty the coupe of ice, water and absinthe. The glass keeps a thin aniseed coating.
- Strain the drink into the coupe, add a splash of club soda and garnish with a slice of cucumber.
