Preparation Steps
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Cut it into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
Muddle the Mint
In a glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils and aroma.
Mix with Tonic Water
Pour the tonic water over the cucumber and mint mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
Serve with Ice
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Strain the mixture over the ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a cucumber slice, if desired.
