It takes a lot of crushed ice to make this cucumber basil smash. It’s what made this cocktail style seem so extravagant back in the days before freezers.

Absolutely delicious, extremely refreshing! I used 8 thin sliced cucumbers (muddled) per glass and double the basil just because I enjoy the flavors so much then I added about 3 ounces of club soda to fill a taller cocktail glass.
