1
Chop Cucumber
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Reserve a few slices for garnish.
2
Muddle Herbs
In a large pitcher, add the fresh mint and basil leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the leaves to release their essential oils.

3
Combine Ingredients
Add the sliced cucumber, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and gin to the pitcher with the muddled herbs. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Tonic Water
Slowly pour in the tonic water, stirring gently to mix without losing carbonation.

5
Prepare Glasses
Fill each glass with ice cubes and pour the herbal gin mixture over the ice, making sure to distribute the cucumber slices evenly.
6
Garnish
Top each glass with a lemon slice and a cucumber slice for garnish. Optionally, you can add extra mint or basil leaves for decoration.
