This simple mix of vodka, lime juice and muddled cucumber is perfectly summery and bright.

1/2 oz. simple syrup
4 fresh cucumber wheels
Ice cubes
1 large ice cube or sphere
Tools: shaker, muddler, strainer
Glass: tumbler

In the base of a shaker, muddle cucumber wheels with simple syrup. Add remaining ingredients and shake with ice. Strain over one large ice cube into a tumbler and garnish.
