Cool, crisp, and endlessly refreshing, this sparkling cucumber drink is the kind of thing you'll want to keep in the fridge all week long. Thin slices of English cucumber slowly infuse into chilled sparkling water, giving every sip a clean, subtly vegetal brightness that feels genuinely fancy with almost zero effort. A few fresh mint leaves pressed just enough to release their fragrance take the whole thing to another level without overpowering the delicate cucumber flavor. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, drinks can sometimes be a surprising source of stress β flavored waters and sparkling beverages occasionally share facilities or contain unexpected additives. This recipe sidesteps all of that by keeping things beautifully simple: cucumber, sparkling water, mint, and ice. There's nothing hidden, nothing processed, and nothing to second-guess. Pour it over a tall glass of ice and serve it at your next gathering β it looks stunning and disappears fast.
