Cool Cucumber

It's really hot here today... got some fresh cukes from a friend's garden and they were too big for just a salad. So tried this out for fun. It turned out pretty good, and paired well will leftover Indian food.

1/2 cup grated cucumber with the juice
10 cilantro leaves, plus some leaves for garnish
a few mint leaves
Ice
2 ounces vodka
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
3/4 ounce simple syrup
1 ounce chilled soda/sparkling water

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber and cilantro, mint leaves.
Add ice and the vodka, lime juice and simple syrup and shake well.
Strain into a glass filled with ice.
Stir in the club soda and garnish with the sprig of cilantro.
