Step 2

Place ice in each serving glass. Pour 1 1/2 ounces cucumber-infused gin into each and top with soda. Stir once, garnish with cucumber slices, and serve immediately.

Cook's Notes

A single large ice cube -- made with a special ice-cube tray -- works best for fizzy cocktails. Smaller cubes melt faster and make the drink go flat quicker.
