If you want to try a variation which i think is both tasty and incredibly good looking, I would suggest to cut half of a cucumber in small pieces, leave them in the shaker, shake them along with all the other ingredients and ice ( i usually add 10ml of gin) and pour them in the glass. You'll notice the "seeds" of the cucumber that look almost as ice crystals into a well-made white lady. The resulting colour is green, and, I'd suppose, more cucumber-forward. I found it excellent.

A very solid drink. Definitely cucumber and mastiha forward. The lemon juice isn't really detectable, but brings underlying freshness. The gin here is, somewhat unusually, playing more of a supporting role. I used Plymouth and its rounder, softer character worked really well with the other ingredients. Not an everyday sipper for me, but it went really well with my chicken/tzatziki/pita bread dinner.

Fresh indeed, the combination and balance of flavours is remarkable. As symbiotic as it gets. Tried it with Hendricks.
