MAKES 1 DRINK
4 lime wedges

In a short glass, add lime wedges, simple syrup, cucumbers and vodka. Muddle until ingredients are combined well. Add ice to tin. Pour ingredients from short glass to mixing glass. Reserve the short glass. Shake well. Dump all ingredients from the shaker back into the seasoned short glass and serve.
