Gather Ingredients
Ensure you have all the ingredients listed, including The Botanist Gin, tonic water, fresh lime, cucumber, and mint leaves.
2
Fill the Glass
Select a highball or Collins glass and fill it with ice cubes to the top.

3
Pour the Gin
Measure 2 oz of The Botanist Gin using a jigger and pour it over the ice in the glass.
4
Add Tonic Water
Measure 4 oz of tonic water and slowly pour it into the glass over the gin to maintain the bubbles.

Add Lime
Take a fresh lime slice and gently squeeze it over the drink, then drop it into the glass.
6
Add Cucumber
Place the cucumber slices into the glass for a refreshing flavor.
7
Add Mint
Gently slap the mint leaves between your hands to release their oils, then add them to the drink as garnish.

8
Stir and Serve
Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients, then serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
