This is a great any-day, any-season cocktail with a clean, light flavor. The cucumber, mint, and lime combine perfectly to create a refreshing beverage that’s especially welcoming after a rich, spicy meal.
Simple syrup is an equal portion of sugar to water, brought to a boil and cooled. If you don’t have simple syrup on hand, agave nectar is a fine substitute.
