Preparation
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Cut off both ends and slice it into thin rounds. Reserve one slice for garnish.
Make Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1/2 cup each should suffice). Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Allow to cool before using.
Mixing the Drink
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the cucumber slices (reserve a slice for garnish), gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with club soda and stir gently to combine.
