Notes

For a Watermelon Cucumber Cooler, replace half the sparkling water with fresh watermelon juice.
For a Spicy Cucumber Cooler, add a thin jalapeño slice when muddling.
For a Cucumber Basil Cooler, swap mint leaves for fresh basil.
Best served immediately, but cucumber-infused water can be prepared ahead and chilled.
