2 servings
- 1 medium cucumber (about 10 oz), peeled and roughly chopped
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
- 2 tbsp honey
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey. - 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups sparkling water, chilled
- 1 cup ice cubes
For serving
- 2 thin cucumber slices, for garnish (optional)
- 2 fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the chopped cucumber, mint leaves, honey, lime juice, cold water, and salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.

Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher or large measuring cup, pressing on the solids with a spoon until only dry pulp remains. Discard the pulp. Let the strained juice rest for 5 minutes so any foam settles.
