Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and chop the cucumber into smaller pieces. This makes it easier to blend.
- In a blender, add the chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup water, spearmint leaves, lime juice, and honey.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher.
- Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove any solid bits. Use a spatula or spoon to press the mixture and extract as much liquid as possible.
- Add the strained cucumber mixture to a large pitcher.
- Slowly pour in the 24 fl oz (710ml) of sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes.
- Pour the cucumber cooler over the ice and garnish with additional mint leaves or cucumber slices if desired.
- Serve immediately while cold and refreshing to enjoy the best flavors.
Tips:
- Ensure that the cucumbers are fresh and firm for the best flavor.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for a more vibrant taste.
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste, depending on how sweet you prefer your drink.
- Chill the ingredients beforehand to serve the cooler immediately without the need for ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- Garnish with extra mint leaves or cucumber slices for an added touch of elegance.
