Method

1. Muddle the cucumber slices in a shaker tin, then add the mint once you have hand-clapped it to release the oils.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.

3. To garnish, rub a slice of cucumber around the rim of the glass before placing it in the cocktail.
