Crushed ice

Instructions

In a gallon-sized pitcher, combine simple syrup, cucumber slices, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and vodka.  Stir vigorously to combine the ingredients and muddle the cucumber, mint and lime.   Place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until chilled throughly.

When ready to serve, fill pint glasses about halfway with ice.  Fill glasses to about 3/4 full with cucumber mixture.  Top with club soda and serve.
