1. 01

   Pre-chill one clear coupe and cut two thin cucumber slices, reserving the neatest single slice for garnish.

2. 02

   Place one cucumber slice in the base of a shaker and muddle firmly until its juice and aroma are released.

3. 03

   Add 20 ml cognac, 15 ml London dry gin, 10 ml maple syrup, 15 ml fresh lemon juice, and one dash aromatic bitters.

4. 04

   Fill the shaker with solid cold ice, seal it, and shake hard for 10–12 seconds.

5. 05

   Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no cucumber pulp or ice fragments reach the drink.

6. 06

   Float the single reserved cucumber slice flat on the surface and serve without another garnish.
