To give my glass of water a more interesting flavour, I’ve always liked adding a slice of cucumber or some mint leaves. From that humble beginning, I created this simple, refreshing, non-alcoholic drink, special enough to serve at a summer tea party.

Method

For each serving, place 4–5 mint leaves in a high-ball glass and gently bash with a wooden spoon handle.
Cut 6 of the cucumber slices in half and add half the slices to each glass with a couple of ice cubes.
Pour half the tonic water into each glass, and mix with a twizzler or straw.
Fill each glass with ice, decorate the edge of the glasses with a slice of cucumber and serve.
