Cucumber Cooler

1. 1

   Take 1 of the large cucumber chunks and cut into slightly smaller pieces. Put in cocktail shaker.

2. 2

   Add mint, lime juice and agave nectar to shaker

3. 3

   Muddle well, pressing down on the cucumber to really extract all the good flavor and liquid. Really grind down on the mint to get as much flavor as possible

4. 4

   Add gin

5. 5

   Fill shaker with ice and shake drink. (This is best done with a shaker with a glass attachment because you want some of the bits of muddled cucumber to come through into the drink and a regular shaker wont let you do that). You can also toss it back and forth between a shaker and a large glass.

6. 6

   Pour the drink into 2 large glasses (large plastic wine glasses feel so right :). Add additional ice and top with club soda.

7. 7

   Sip away!
