INGREDIENTS:
* 20mg THC total cannabis tincture
* 1/2 large English cucumber, chopped
* 1.5 oz fresh lime juice
* 1 oz simple syrup or elderflower syrup
* 6 oz chilled club soda or sparkling mineral water
* 4 fresh mint leaves
* Fresh ice
* Garnish: Long cucumber ribbons and fresh mint sprigs
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Place the chopped cucumber and mint leaves into a cocktail shaker.
* Muddle thoroughly for 45 seconds until the cucumber is completely broken down and juicy.
* Add the fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and the cannabis tincture (20mg total) to the shaker.
* Fill the shaker with ice and shake hard for 15 seconds to chill the base and integrate the tincture.
* Fill two highball glasses with fresh ice.
* Double strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the glasses to ensure a clear, debris-free drink.
* Top each glass with 3 oz of chilled sparkling mineral water.
* Stir very gently to combine the flavors while keeping the carbonation active.
* Garnish by threading a long cucumber ribbon onto a cocktail pick and adding a fresh mint sprig.
CHEF TIPS:
Cucumber Type: Use English or Persian cucumbers; they have thinner skins and fewer seeds, which results in a sweeter, less bitter juice.
Salt Rim: For a savory twist, rim half the glass with a mixture of sea salt and dried lime zest before pouring.
Syrup Swap: Using elderflower syrup instead of plain simple syrup adds a floral layer that pairs exceptionally well with the "green" notes of the cannabis.
