Minty Moonshine Cocktail

- ½ cup cold water(120 mL)
- ½ cup sugar(120 g)
- 1 cup mint leaf(25 g), loosely packed, roughly chopped, plus 8-10 whole leaves
- 1 piece cucumber, 2 in (5 cm) sliced, plus 2 cucumber ribbons for garnish

Mint Simple Syrup
Grab your smallest saucepan, heat the water over medium heat and stir in sugar, and roughly chopped mint leaves. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved and you can smell the mint. Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes and then strain through a fine mesh.

Enjoy!
