Cucumber Mint Gimlet

Muddled cucumber, mint, and lime, shaken up for a delightful lesson in flavor!

Place mint and lime juice in cocktail shaker and muddle. If you do not have fresh cucumber juice, slice cucumber, and place in cocktail shaker for muddling too. Once muddled, add in Gin, Simple Syrup, and Genepy (Genepy adds depth to the herbal qualities of this drink, but is not nessesary). Shake with ice, and strin into coup glass. Garnish with cucumber.

Note: You can substitute plain simple syrup for mint simple syrup, if using fresh muddled mint leaves. However, if creating a batch, it is much easier to use mint simple syrurp than muddle enough mint for an entire batch.

Or one-third of a large cucumber, muddled.
