The Recipe
This Summer cocktail is a play on a Mojito with a smokier, more intimate flavor which comes from the type of rum I chose. The cucumber returns a traditional Mojito freshness to the drink.Ingredients

Simple Syrup, 1 oz
Union Uno Mezcal, 2 oz
Mint, a good sized sprig
Sliced Cucumber

2. Fill the glass with Ice.
3. Add the Union Uno Mezcal.
4. Fill to top with Club Soda.
5. Roll the glass and then garnish with a slice of cucumber.
