1 In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber, mint and agave nectar until the cucumber offers no more resistance.
2 Fill the shaker with ice, then pour in the lime juice and gin. Put the lid on your shaker and shake until the cocktail is thoroughly chilled, about 20 seconds.
3 Strain the mixture into a martini glass. Garnish with a tiny sprig of mint, if you’d like.
