Ingredients

170g golden granulated sugar

6 large unwaxed lemons juiced, plus extra lemon slices to serve

2 organic medium cucumbers chopped into cubes

Mix the sugar with 180ml hot water in a heatproof bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool completely. Stir in the lemon juice.

Tip the cucumbers into a blender with a splash of water and blitz until liquified. Tip some ice, the vodka, the lemonade from step 1 and the puréed cucumbers (see tip, below) into a large pitcher and stir well.

Top up the pitcher with soda water and stir well again, then drop in a few lemon slices just before serving.
