Method

  1. Muddle the cucumber slices in the bottom of a shaker until they give up their juice.

  2. Add the tequila, Aperol, simple syrup, lime juice, and ice, and shake until cold.

  3. Strain into a glass and garnish with the mint sprig.

Notes from the line

Persian cucumbers are thin-skinned and less watery than the big ones. They are worth finding.
