Equipment

Tall glass or shaker
Muddler or spoon
Knife & cutting board

Ingredients

½ cucumber thinly sliced (organic preferred)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 –8 fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon honey or agave optional
1 cup chilled sparkling water or club soda
Ice cubes as needed
Garnish: cucumber ribbons lime wedges, and mint sprigs

Instructions

Place cucumber slices and mint leaves in a glass or shaker.
Gently muddle to release juice and oils (do not over-crush).
Add lime juice and honey/agave if desired.
Fill the glass with ice.
Top with sparkling water or club soda.
Stir gently, garnish with cucumber ribbons and mint, and serve immediately.

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.
