A variant of the Kentucky Maid which replaces Kentucky bourbon with Irish whiskey, and muddled lemon wedges with muddled cucumber slices. Along with the elderflower liqueur, this makes for a floral and refreshing drink.
Place the cucumber slices into a cocktail shaker and muddle.
Add all ingredients and shake until well-chilled.
Fine-strain into a tumbler over fresh ice.
Garnish with a cucumber slice.
This cocktail works best with an Irish whiskey which as a strong flavour profile; Roe and Co Blended Irish Whiskey[/ink] works very well (and was created with cocktails in mind).
