Method
- Put the peas, cucumber and mint leaves in a cocktail shaker and use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to bash them. Add the honey/agave, lime juice and gin, give it a good stir, then leave for 5 minutes to infuse.
- Wrap a few ribbons of cucumber around the inside of a highball glass, then fill with ice cubes. Strain the gin mixture into it, then top up with tonic water. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a few extra peas.
