Ingredients
  

  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 10 leaves fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cups cold water or sparkling water
  • ice cubes as needed

Instructions
 

  • In a pitcher, combine the sliced cucumber and fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler to gently crush them and release their flavors.
  • Add the lime juice and cold water. Stir well to combine.
  • Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the mixture over. Serve immediately and enjoy!

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.
