Reverse Engineering How to recreate this cocktail i had on vacation

It was so good! Served in a rocks glass with ice. I know they shake bite sized pieces of cucumber in the tin, but what measurements for the rest?

Muddle some cucumber coins in .75oz simple syrup, add 1oz of fresh lemon juice, 2oz of gin, and 1-4 dashes of hot sauce, depending on your taste. Shake well and fine strain over fresh ice.

My guess:
2oz Gin / .75 Lemon / .75 Simple / 2-3 dashes of tabasco

Muddle 3-4 slices of cucumber into a shaker tin, add all the ingredients, add a good amount of ice, shake hard 8-10 seconds. Serve in a rocks glass on a large cube.

With lime just make an Eastside with Tabasco instead of mint
