Ingredients

1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)

2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

4 cups sparkling water (chilled)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Lime slices (for garnish)

Ice cubes

Instructions

Prep the Cucumber: In a blender, combine the sliced cucumber and lime juice. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a finer texture, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp. This step is optional based on personal preference.

Sweeten the Mixture: In a large pitcher, add the cucumber-lime juice blend along with the agave syrup or honey. Stir well to combine, ensuring the sweetener is fully dissolved.

Add Sparkle: Slowly pour the chilled sparkling water into the pitcher, gently stirring to mix everything together without losing the fizz. Adjust the sweetness or lime juice to your taste if desired.

Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling cucumber-lime mixture over the ice.

Garnish & Enjoy: Top with fresh mint leaves and lime slices. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing simplicity of the cooler!
