Chill glass and prepare shaker
Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer or fill with ice to chill. Rinse a cocktail shaker and discard the ice before use.
- 3
Muddle jalapeño, cucumber, and syrup
In the shaker, muddle 1 jalapeño slice with 15 ml cucumber juice and 20 ml simple syrup to release aroma and a hint of heat. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.

Add gin and lime juice
Add 60 ml gin and 30 ml fresh lime juice to the shaker with the muddled mixture.

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.

Strain and pour
Double-strain the mixture into the prepared glass to remove seeds and pulp, yielding a bright, clean Gimlet.

Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim. Optionally, give a light cucumber ribbon over the drink to release aroma before serving.
