Makes 2
Preparation
Step 1
Using a vegetable peeler, shave 4 long, thin ribbons from cucumber; set aside. Cut a 4" piece from remaining cucumber and coarsely chop. Muddle with makrut lime leaves, sugar, and 2 lemon slices in a cocktail shaker. Add gin and lime juice and fill shaker with ice. Cover and shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 20 seconds.
Step 2
Strain into 2 ice-filled Collins glasses. Top off each with club soda. Gently stir to combine; garnish each with 2 reserved cucumber ribbons and remaining lemon slices.

Back to TopI have been making this with lime and lemon wedges instead of strips and wheels for years. No added sugar, either, to keep it tart. Hendricks gin is a must - not regular gin! The bar where it was made here called it White Linen. Great name for a cool summer cocktail.
