Put the ginger and 2 or 3 slices of cucumber inside the shaker and muddle. Then add vodka, ice and shake strongly.
Strain and serve into a cold whisky glass (rock glass) with 2 long slices of cucumber inside.
Add apple cider (Strongbow gold is ok) to the top of the glass.
Garnish: two mint leaves or a lime or lemon twist.
You can add a few drops of edelweiss syrup to make it more floral.

The original also calls for homemade agua de tamarindo, not the Jarritos version.
