Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz gin
  • 3 oz tonic water
  • 2-3 cucumber slices

Instructions
 

  • In a shaker combine gin, cucumbers, and ice. Shake well.
  • Strain into rocks glass with ice.
  • Top with tonic water.

Notes

  • Don't overdo the cucumber in this. When you shake it with ice, it will release a lot of juice, so 2-3 slices are enough for one drink. The cucumber should be a secondary aroma.
  • If you want to skip the fresh cucumber, there are cucumber flavored tonic waters and I think you can even find gin like that.
  • This is only as sweet as your tonic water will be. If you want sweeter, add a drop of simple syrup.
