1
Muddle Herbs and Cucumber
In a cocktail shaker, add the shiso leaves and cucumber slices. Gently muddle them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the aromas and flavors. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness from the herbs.
2
Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the gin, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
3
Add Ice and Shake
Fill the shaker with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and combined.
4
Strain and Serve
Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass using a fine mesh strainer to remove solids.

5
Garnish the cocktail with a fresh shiso leaf and a cucumber ribbon draped across the rim or floated in the drink.
