Muddle the Cucumber and Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the cucumber slices and fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down to release the juices from the cucumber and the aroma of the mint. Be careful not to over-muddle; you want to bruise the mint, not shred it.
