Cucumber Mint Cooler

A refreshing and hydrating drink made with cucumber, mint, lime, and a touch of sweetness. Perfect for hot summer days or as a light, non-alcoholic beverage option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 12 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (to taste)
  • 2 cups cold water or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint sprigs and cucumber slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the sliced cucumber, mint leaves, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup.
  2. Add 1 cup of cold water and blend until smooth.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher to remove pulp.
  4. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of cold water or sparkling water.
  5. Serve over ice in glasses and garnish with mint sprigs and cucumber slices if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/agave syrup.
  • For an extra cooling effect, chill the cucumber and water before blending.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
