250ml BWG Cucumber Punch
60ml Premium dry gin

Tonic water to top up
1 Tablespoon sugar (optional)
Preparation:
Place the mint, lime juice, gin and sugar (if using) in the bottom of a shaker and muddle.
Pour in the Cucumber Punch and shake well for 30 seconds.

Recipe Notes
For those who prefer a sweeter drink, add sugar to taste. However, it's also quite enjoyable without.
Add fruits like Orange, Kiwi or Strawberry to make another refreshing drink, depending on what fruit is in season.
You can replace the mint with basil or rosemary leaves for another unique twist.
