Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Instead of stirring with a bar spoon, gently roll the drink by pouring it once into a second chilled glass and then back to preserve the tonic’s fizz while blending cucumber and gin notes more subtly.
Serving Tip 1
Use a frozen cucumber ribbon instead of standard ice for garnish; this keeps the drink chilled without dilution and adds structure to the glass.
