St. Germain Gimlet Evolved

Motivation
I was looking for a good St. Germain cocktail that would include gin.  I found this one and was very surprised by how good it is.  St. Germain has the ability to overpower other ingredients in drinks.  That's certainly been my experience when trying to pair it with champagne.  In this cocktail it's a team player instead of dominating the flavor profile.  Original recipe page.

Ingredients
1 1/2 oz. Hendrick’s Gin
1 oz. St. Germaine
3/4 oz. fresh Lime Juice
1 dash Bitters
Cucumber wheel, for garnish (optional but nice)
Method
Combine ingredients.  Shake with ice and strain.  I prefer my drink tart. Taste and add more lime juice if need be.
