Line Glass with Cucumber Ribbons
Use a peeler to slice paper-thin cucumber ribbons. Press and spiral them smoothly against the inner walls of your highball glass.
Muddle Jalapeño & Agave
In a small cup, gently press 1 jalapeño wheel with lemon juice and agave nectar for 3-4 presses to coax out subtle spicy aromatics.
Add Ice & Strain Syrup
Pack the lined glass carefully with ice cubes, then strain the lemon-jalapeño agave mixture over the ice.
Top with Bubbly Soda
Top with 150 ml chilled sparkling soda. Float a fresh jalapeño wheel and mint sprig on top, and serve with a reusable straw.
