  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
  • 4-5 fresh mint leaves
  • Ice cubes
  • Cucumber slices and kiwi wheels for garnish
  • Club soda to top

Instructions

  • Peel and chop the kiwis and cucumber into small pieces.

Notes

The drink stays fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For best results, add ice and club soda just before serving.
Make a bigger batch by doubling or tripling the recipe. This works great for parties.
Skip straining for extra fiber and a thicker texture. The drink might be pulpier but still tastes great.
Replace honey with agave nectar or simple syrup for a vegan version.

Must Have Ingredients

Tasting Notes

The Kiwi Cucumber Chiller delivers a bright and refreshing taste that balances sweet and tangy flavors. The blend of kiwi and cucumber creates a light, garden-fresh sensation.

Fresh mint adds a cool touch that enhances the crisp cucumber notes. A splash of lime juice brings a zesty kick that makes each sip lively and energizing.

The sweetness level sits at a perfect middle ground – not too sugary, yet sweet enough to satisfy. Green notes from the cucumber and kiwi dominate the drink’s aroma.

Key Flavor Notes:

  • Primary: Fresh cucumber, ripe kiwi
  • Secondary: Cool mint, tangy lime
  • Finish: Clean, crisp, slightly sweet

The texture stays smooth and light, with tiny kiwi seeds adding subtle texture. Crushed ice keeps the drink extra cold and maintains its refreshing quality.

This mocktail works well as a morning or afternoon drink. The mild flavors make it a nice match for light snacks or summer meals.

Each ingredient remains distinct while blending into a balanced whole. The green color looks appealing and matches the fresh taste perfectly.

Substitute

Need to change out some ingredients? These swaps work well in the Kiwi Cucumber Chiller Mocktail.

Replace kiwi with green apple or green grapes for a similar tart-sweet taste. Cucumber can be swapped with celery or fresh mint leaves.

For the lime juice, lemon juice makes a good substitute. Fresh is best, but bottled works too.

If club soda isn’t available, try sparkling water or ginger ale. Regular water works fine but won’t give the same fizzy texture.

Simple syrup can be replaced with:

  • Honey
  • Agave nectar
  • Sugar
  • Maple syrup

Note: When using honey or maple syrup, start with half the amount since they’re sweeter than simple syrup.

Want it less sweet? Try coconut water instead of simple syrup. It adds natural sweetness and keeps the drink refreshing.
