Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Chill a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice to cool while you prepare the drink. If you used ice to chill, discard that ice before building the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Muddle cucumber and mint

    Place 3–4 thin cucumber slices and the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker or mixing glass. If you want the optional jalapeño kick, add 1 thin jalapeño slice with seeds removed for a milder heat or keep seeds for more spice. Gently muddle 8–10 times — press to release cucumber juice and mint oils without shredding the mint into bits.

  3. 3

    Add spirits and sweetener

    Add 2 oz Pearl Cucumber Vodka to the shaker (or substitute 2 oz 1800 Cucumber Jalapeño Tequila for the $1 upgrade). Pour in 0.75 oz fresh lime juice and 0.5 oz simple syrup.

  4. 4

    Shake

    Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker, cap it, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold.

  5. 5

    Build in glass

    Fill your chilled highball glass with fresh ice (about 1 cup). Double-strain the shaker contents into the glass to remove mint bits and large cucumber solids. If you prefer more cucumber texture, strain normally without a fine mesh.

  6. 6

    Top and finish

    Top the cocktail with 2 oz club soda. Gently stir once or twice to combine flavors without flattening the soda.

  7. 7

    Garnish & serve

    Garnish with a fresh mint sprig tucked into the drink and a cucumber wheel on the rim. If you added jalapeño while muddling and want extra heat, float an additional thin jalapeño slice on top. Serve immediately with a straw.
