1
Prepare the Sour Mix
In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir well until thoroughly mixed. This will be your housemade sour mix.

2
Muddle Cucumber and Mint
Slice the large cucumber into thin rounds. In a cocktail shaker, add the cucumber slices and fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler to gently press down and twist the ingredients together until the cucumber releases its juices and the mint aroma is released.
3
Mix the Drink
Add 2 oz of vodka and 3 oz of the prepared sour mix to the muddled cucumber and mint in the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15 seconds.
4
Serve the Cocktail
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice. Top off with 4 oz of club soda. Garnish with a cucumber slice and a sprig of fresh mint.
