This cocktail is amazing! It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I love the way the flavors come together. I would definitely make this again.

I'm not sure what happened, but my cocktail didn't turn out right. It was too strong and it didn't taste very good. I'm going to try making it again and see if I can get it right.

This cocktail is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less simple syrup or adding more lemon juice.

I'm not a big fan of gin, but I really enjoyed this cocktail. The lemon and cucumber help to balance out the gin flavor. I would definitely make this again.

This cocktail is a bit too strong for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less gin or adding more club soda.

I love how easy this cocktail is to make. I always have the ingredients on hand, so I can make it whenever I want. It's also a great way to use up leftover gin.
