1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into thin rounds.
2
Muddle the Mint
In a glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their flavor.
3
Add Cucumber and Lime
Add the cucumber slices to the muddled mint. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Reserve the other half for garnish.
4
Mix with Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup over the cucumber, mint, and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

5
Add Soda Water
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then slowly pour soda water over the top. Stir gently to mix.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a slice of lime on the rim and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
