Equipment

A blender and a fine-mesh strainer are essential.
Next, I grab a cutting board and a sharp knife for chopping cucumbers.
A measuring cup and spoons ensure accuracy with ingredients.

A muddler or spoon is useful to blend flavors.
Finally, I choose a nice glass for serving.
If you want to add some flair, having a cocktail shaker helps mix the drink well and chills it at the same time!

These are handy, but if you don’t have all of these, you can still make do with what’s available in your kitchen.

Ingredients

The star of this drink is fresh cucumber. I use half a cucumber, peeled and sliced.

Next I add lime juice for a tangy kick – about two tablespoons should do.
I like to sweeten it up with one tablespoon of agave syrup but you can adjust to taste.

For a refreshing touch I add mint leaves, about a handful.
Top it up with sparkling water for fizz about one cup.
Ice cubes cool it down

A lime slice for garnish adds a finishing touch.

Feel free to get creative with your amounts based on your taste preferences.

Instructions

First, I blend the cucumber slices until smooth in a blender. I aim for a puree-like consistency.
Then, using the strainer, I pour the puree to remove any pulp, keeping the smooth juice.

Next, I muddle the mint leaves gently in a shaker with lime juice and agave syrup. This releases the lovely mint aroma.
After that, I combine the mint mix with cucumber juice, shake well, and pour it into my glass with ice.
I finish by topping it with sparkling water, stirring gently.

To garnish, I add a lime wedge or a cucumber slice on the rim.

And there I have it, a refreshing mocktail to enjoy!

Notes

I like to experiment with flavors—try adding ginger if you’re adventurous.

For a sweeter drink, a little more agave syrup helps enhance the sweetness. If you prefer a less fizzy drink, use still water instead. This mocktail is perfect for a sunny afternoon or as a delightful party drink.
