Cucumber ice cubes for Hendricks G&Ts

Tom likes a G&T when he gets home on a Friday night. His tipple of choice is Hendricks, which is a Scottish gin that is quite unlike most other gins. It is somehow more savoury and tastes good for you!
Hendricks is traditionally drunk with tonic and a slice of cucumber.
This week I seem to have a surplus of cucumbers as the boys appear to have temporarily gone off it so I thought as a special little treat for this Friday's drink I would make my lovely hubby some cucumber ice cubes. I thought it might be better at infusing its flavour into the gin and tonic and would ensure he always had some cucumber for his drink even if we didn't have one in the fridge.
Method;
Blitz a cucumber with a blender
Sieve the pulp out
Add about 50% water (otherwise seemed too strong)
Freeze in cubes

What could be easier?

 Yum - roll on tomorrow!
