🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber: Slice half of a medium cucumber into thin rounds. Reserve a few slices for garnish. The rest will be muddled for maximum flavor.
- Muddle the ingredients: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the cucumber slices, 10-12 fresh mint leaves, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Gently muddle these ingredients together. Muddle, don't smash, to release the flavors without making the mint bitter. You should really smell the mint and cucumber.
- Add sweetener: Stir in 2 tablespoons of simple syrup or agave nectar, adjusting to your preferred sweetness. If you don't have simple syrup, you can dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar in 2 tablespoons of warm water.
- Add ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes. Crushed ice works great too!
- Top with sparkling water: Pour sparkling water or club soda over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top of the glass. The fizz adds a lovely effervescence that makes the mocktail extra refreshing.
- Stir gently: Use a long spoon to gently stir the ingredients together. Be careful not to over-stir, as this can flatten the bubbles.
- Garnish: Garnish with a cucumber slice and a sprig of fresh mint. For an extra touch, you can add a lime wedge or even a few blueberries.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your Cucumber Mint Mojito Mocktail right away while it's cold and bubbly. It’s perfect on it own, or served with your favorite appetizer.
- Add a salty rim (Optional): Before you start making your drink, you can dress up the glass a little bit. Lick the rim or use a lime wedge to wet it. On a small plate, pour some salt and rotate the rim of the glass until it's evenly coated. Then, make your mocktail as instructed. Salt with a cucumber and mint mocktail? Trust me.
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking. If you prefer a less sweet drink, use less syrup.
- For a stronger mint flavor, gently rub the mint leaves between your palms before muddling to release their oils.
