Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker, add cucumber slices, basil leaves, simple syrup, and lime juice. Gently muddle to release flavors.
  • Add gin and fill the shaker with ice. Shake well until chilled.
  • Double strain into a highball glass filled with ice to remove solids.
  • Fill the glass with club soda and stir gently.
  • Add a cucumber wheel or a fresh basil sprig for a refreshing finish.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Don’t over-muddle the basil to avoid bitterness—just a light press is enough.
  • Use a floral or citrus-forward gin to enhance the fresh flavors.
  • Chill your glass beforehand for an even more refreshing experience.
