Muddle the cucumber in a cocktail shaker until completely pulverized. Add the remaining ingredients along with plenty of ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a cucumber slice and enjoy.

Notes

Sometimes for a different spin on this, I will also muddle in fresh basil for an earthy twist. If you like basil, I highly recommend it as the flavor is fresh and phenomenal. It will also turn the cocktail green!
