A bright, herbaceous, and refreshing cocktail with a balanced mix of gin, citrus, cucumber, and mint.

Served in a coupe glass with a pale green hue, garnished with a mint leaf or cucumber slice.

Try adding elderflower liqueur for a floral touch, or swap gin for vodka for a milder flavor.

Pairs well with light seafood dishes, fresh salads, or herbed goat cheese.
