Ingredients

• 6-8 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
• Club soda
• Ice cubes

Use good quality vodka for the best taste. Fresh cucumber and mint are must-haves for this recipe.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Cucumber Mint Fizz:

• Add cucumber slices and mint leaves to the shaker.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and use more club soda. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup.

For a stronger cucumber flavor, muddle extra slices or use cucumber-infused vodka.

Tasting Notes

The Cucumber Mint Fizz Cocktail offers a cool and refreshing taste. It blends crisp cucumber with bright mint flavors. The drink has a light, bubbly texture from the soda water.

On the first sip, cucumber provides a clean, garden-fresh taste. Mint follows with a cool, invigorating sensation. The sweetness is subtle, not overpowering.

The gin adds depth and a hint of juniper. Its botanical notes complement the vegetal cucumber and herbal mint. The lime juice brings a zesty tang that balances the sweetness.

Fizzy bubbles tickle the tongue, making each sip lively and fun. The drink leaves a crisp, clean finish. It’s not too sweet or too strong, striking a nice balance.

This cocktail is best enjoyed cold. The flavors become more pronounced as the ice melts. It’s a great choice for warm days or as a palate cleanser.

Substitute

Can’t find cucumber or mint for your Cucumber Mint Fizz? No worries! There are tasty options to swap in.

For cucumber, try melon. Honeydew or cantaloupe work well. Their light, fresh taste is similar to cucumber.

Peel and chop the melon before muddling.

No mint on hand? Basil makes a nice stand-in. It has a bright, herbal flavor that pairs nicely with melon or cucumber.

Make sure to use fresh basil leaves.

The fizzy part is easy to change too. Swap club soda for sparkling water or tonic water. Each gives a different level of sweetness and bubbles.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the gin. Use extra club soda or try coconut water for a tropical twist.

Here’s a quick substitution guide:

• Cucumber → Melon (honeydew or cantaloupe)
• Mint → Basil
• Club soda → Sparkling water or tonic water
• Gin → Extra soda or coconut water (for non-alcoholic)

Try these swaps to make your own spin on the Cucumber Mint Fizz. The result might surprise you!
