My first time trying a cucumber cocktail, and it's delicious! But the seltzer dilutes the flavor a bit, though. Should I muddle the ingredients more and go easy on the shaking? Any advice?

Be sure to muddle the cucumber well, but don't hold back when shaking. However, use plenty of good ice in the shaker.

Thanks for the advice! I tried it when making Maid in Cuba, and the result was great.
