Method
- Chop each lime into 6 pieces and put in a deep, sturdy bowl or jug. Add the sugar and muddle together with a cocktail muddler, potato masher or the end of a rolling pin. Once all the juice has been released, strain the mixture into a blender, discarding the lime pieces.
- Halve the cucumber and peel 16 long ribbons from one half. Roughly chop the rest, add to the blender and blitz with the lime syrup until smooth.
- Sieve the mixture into a large, ice-filled jug and add the white rum, herbs, half the cucumber ribbons and the sparkling water. Stir gently to mix. Add the remaining cucumber ribbons to glasses to serve.
- Tip: Make this 1-2 hrs ahead, leaving out the ice and sparkling water until serving.
