Like so many other contemporary cocktails where Vodka has replaced the original spirit - The Minted Man is essentially a Mojito, made with Vodka instead of Gin, without soda and with a few cucumber slices thrown in for good measure. Got it? Who cares - I'll be on the porch waiting for you to bring one over. <br /> <br /> <br />INGREDIENTS <br />1 oz Simple syrup <br />3 Cucumber slices <br />4 Mint leaves <br />1.5 oz Vodka <br />1 oz Fresh lime juice <br />Garnish: Mint sprig <br />Glass: Highball <br /> <br />Method: <br />In a shaker; gently muddle the cucumber, mint & simple syrup. Add the vodka and lime juice, and fill with ice. Shake, and strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a mint sprig.
