1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice half of the cucumber into thin rounds for garnish and set aside. Cut the remaining half into small chunks.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the cucumber chunks. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and cucumber to release their flavors. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.
3
Add the Liquids
Pour in the Sweet Crude Rum, Simple Syrup, and Lime Juice into the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Strain and Serve
Fill a glass with ice cubes. Strain the mixture over the ice, leaving the muddled mint and cucumber behind. Top with soda water to add fizz.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with the reserved cucumber slices and a sprig of fresh mint on top. Optionally, add a lime wedge for extra flair.
