Instructions
Simple Syrup
- To make your own simple syrup, add sugar and water to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for a few minutes, until the sugar has dissolved. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes and transfer to an airtight container. The syrup will keep in the fridge for about a week.
Mojitos
- Begin by muddling mint leaves and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Then add ice to the cocktail shaker.
- Pour in 2 ounces of vodka and the lime juice.
- Cover the shaker, shake, pour into a glass and top the drink off with club soda or sparkling water.

Notes
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh mint leaves and lime juice are essential for a great mojito. Avoid using bottled lime juice or pre-packaged mint leaves.
- Use high-quality vodka. A good vodka can make a huge difference in the flavor of your cucumber mojito.
- Don't overdo the simple syrup. I recommend making your own simple syrup as storebought ones can be overpowering. Add more to your cocktail if desired.
- Use plenty of ice. This cocktail is best served ice-cold, so be sure to use plenty of ice when making the drink.
