Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 0.75 oz simple syrup
  • 0.5 oz egg white
  • 2-3 cucumber slices
  • club soda to top

Instructions
 

  • In a shaker combine gin, lime juice, simple syrup, eg white, cucumber, and ice. Shake very well.
  • Strain into Collins glass with ice.
  • Let as much foam as possible drip. Take it out with a spoon if necessary.
  • Top with club soda.

Notes

  • This is an unconventional way of beating the egg whites, and I know that. Most bartenders will ask you to combine all ingredients (minus cucumber and club soda) in the shaker, and shake without ice, then shake again with ice. I've found that shaking the egg with the rest of the ingredients gives me a comparable foam, so I don't dry shake anymore.
  • If you want to muddle the cucumber slices instead of shaking them with ice, simply add them to the empty glass and mash them a bit of the back of a spoon. You will get a much milder flavor.
