Cool, crisp, and genuinely refreshing, this sparkling cucumber mint drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Fresh cucumber and mint get blended with honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt, then strained into a silky, vibrant juice that tastes impossibly clean and bright. Topping it with chilled sparkling water gives it that satisfying fizz without any store-bought mixers or flavored sodas that can sneak in unwanted additives. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward, which makes it a natural fit for anyone eating clean or avoiding processed foods. The straining step is worth the extra minute — it pulls out all the pulp and leaves you with a jewel-toned liquid that looks as good as it tastes. Serve it over ice with a cucumber ribbon and a sprig of mint and it's instantly the most elegant drink on the table, no bar cart required.

Ingredients

2 servings

1 medium cucumber (about 10 oz), peeled and roughly chopped
½ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
2 tbsp 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.
2
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.
