Citrus Free Cucumber Sparkling Water
Cool, crisp, and genuinely refreshing, this infused sparkling water is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're at a spa without leaving your kitchen. So many flavored waters and store-bought sparkling drinks sneak in citrus — lemon, lime, or orange — either as a main flavor or a hidden additive, which makes finding a safe option frustrating. This one keeps things beautifully simple: just cucumber, mint, and chilled sparkling water, with zero citrus anywhere in the mix. The cucumber slices steep in the bubbles for at least 30 minutes, giving the water a subtle, clean flavor that's light without being boring. A gentle press of the mint leaves adds just enough herbal aroma to make it feel a little fancy. It's perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon, serving at a gathering, or just making your everyday hydration feel like a treat.
