Ingredients

This mocktail uses simple, fresh ingredients:

1/2 Cucumber: Peeled and sliced it adds a fresh taste.

Each ingredient plays a vital role in balancing the flavor.

Instructions

Let’s make this refreshing drink!

First, I blend the cucumber slices until smooth.
Then, pour it through the strainer into a pitcher to get a smooth juice.

Add elderflower syrup and lime juice, and mix well.
Next, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the mixture over the ice.
Add soda water to fill the glass, giving it a gentle stir with a mixing spoon.

Finally, garnish with mint leaves for a fragrant touch.

Take a sip and enjoy the cool, refreshing flavors!

Notes

A few tips make this even better. You can prepare the cucumber juice in advance and keep it in the fridge. It makes things faster when you want a quick drink.

Feel free to adjust the elderflower syrup according to your taste. Some like it sweeter; I prefer it balanced.

If you like more fizz, add a splash more soda water. For a festive touch, you might add a cucumber slice on the rim or some edible flowers. 🌸

Enjoy experimenting and share your creations!
