Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 24 slices Cucumber - Unwaxed if you can find it, and cut thin
- 90 ml Lime juice
- 150 ml Elderflower cordial
- 720 ml Soda water
- 6 ribbons Cucumber ribbon (optional)
Pitcher (6 drinks) - about 960 ml of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Press the cucumber with the lime, add cordial and ice, then top with soda.
Method
- Press the cucumber slices in the bottom of a highball glass with the lime juice - a gentle push, not a grind.
- Add the elderflower cordial and fill the glass with ice.
- Top with soda water and stir once, from the bottom, to bring the cucumber up.
- Finish with a ribbon of cucumber down the inside of the glass.
