Instructions

Using a vegetable peeler, slice thin ribbons of cucumber and place in your cocktail glasses. From the remaining cucumber, cut off 5-6 chunks to muddle into the cocktail, and save the rest.
Squeeze the lime juice into a cocktail shaker and add the gin, St Germain, basil, and cucumber chunks.
Muddle the ingredients well, and then add ice.
Shake well, then pour to divide between 2 glasses. Top with tonic and garnish with basil.
