½ bottle white wine Preferably a dry white
200ml P.S. Modern Elderflower syrup or to preferred taste
Few mint sprigs, leaves picked
2 x 1L bottles soda water, chilled
Method
Chop the cucumber into a few chunks, then put in a blender or food processor with the wine and elderflower syrup. Whizz until well blended, then pour through a sieve set over a large bowl or jug. Tip the contents of the sieve back into the machine, whizz again until pulpy, then sieve again into the liquid already collected. Chill until ready to serve.
Add 1-2 tbsp of the cucumber pulp from the sieve into the liquid and discard the rest.
To serve, fill glasses with a few ice cubes and some mint leaves. Pour in enough cucumber base to come halfway up the glass, then top up with soda water.
