AdInstructions
- Muddle the cucumber in the bottom of a highball glass.
- Add the lime juice, simple syrup, gin and mint.
- Fill the glass two-thirds full with ice and work the drink with a bar spoon, churning it so the mint and cucumber release their flavour.
- Add more ice and stir again.
- Top with club soda, give one last stir and garnish with mint leaves and cucumber peel.
