Cucumber Juice

1 English cucumber, partially peeled, chopped

Cocktail

1 cup (250 ml) ice (crushed or not)
2 oz (60 ml) cucumber juice
2 oz (60 ml) gin
½ oz (15 ml) lime juice
2 tsp (10 ml) clear cane syrup
3 oz (90 ml) cold tonic water
1 small mint or lemon balm sprig
A few thin cucumber slices (optional)

Preparation

Cucumber Juice

In a blender, purée the cucumber until smooth. Place a fine sieve over a bowl and pour in the cucumber purée. Cover and let drain, without pressing on the pulp, for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Compost the pulp. Save the juice. You should obtain about ¾ cup (180 ml) cucumber juice (see note).

Cocktail

Place the ice in a tall, cold glass. Add the cucumber juice, gin, lime juice and cane syrup. Mix. Top off with the tonic water. Garnish with the mint and cucumber slices, if desired.

Note

The cucumber juice will keep for 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
