Chatham Cooler

1. Prepare the Glass

• Line the inside of a chilled highball glass with the cucumber ribbon.
• Pack the glass completely with fresh ice cubes.

2. Shake the Base

• In a cocktail shaker, combine the London Dry Gin, ginger liqueur, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup.
• Fill the shaker with ice, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds until thoroughly cold.

3. Strain and Top

• Strain the chilled mixture into the prepared highball glass over the ice.
• Gently pour in the chilled club soda and give one slow lift with a bar spoon to combine without flattening the fizz.

4. Garnish

• Slap the fresh mint sprig against the back of your hand to release its essential oils and tuck it neatly alongside the ice.
