Make ahead: Whizz the simple syrup, cucumber and lime juice in a blender till smooth. Strain through a sieve. Can be stored in the fridge for a day or two.
On the day: Using a vegetable peeler, make cucumber ribbons (or just slice in 0.5cm discs if easier for you). Slice the limes. Stir the gin through the cucumber mixture and divide it between the glasses. Add a few blocks of ice and top with sparkling water. Garnish with cucumber ribbons, lime slices and mint sprigs.
