Step 1

For The Green Garter:
Add cilantro, chilies and cucumber to shaker and muddle. Add gin, simple syrup and lime juice and shake with ice. Double strain over ice into a rocks glass. Top with soda. Garnish with cucumber.

For Gordon's Cup:
Put cucumber, lime wedges and simple syrup in shaker and gently muddle. (Try not to tear apart limes or cucumber.) Add gin and ice. Shake 3 to 4 times and dump ingredients (do not strain) into a chilled rocks glass. Garnish with a pinch of salt and/or freshly ground pepper (optional). Serve with a straw.
