Is there a recipe for the cucumber syrup?
Also, I am curious if the lime juice curdles the cream? Sounds interesting!

1:1 cucumber juice to sugar.

The lime juice doesn't curdle the cream; the acid from the lime helps emulsify the egg white, just like in a Ramos Fizz, and both the cream and the egg white contribute to a creamy mouth feel. Give it a try! It's an adventurous but refreshing drink.
