Notes
For extra flavor, let the mixture sit in the fridge for 15–30 minutes before serving.
You can substitute lime with lemon for a milder citrus touch.
Sparkling water adds a fizzy twist, perfect for parties!
Use seedless cucumber if available for a smoother drink.
Add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness.
Always use fresh mint, dried mint won’t deliver the same cooling effect.
Garnish with a cucumber ribbon or mint sprig for a beautiful presentation.
