Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 large cucumber
- A handful of fresh mint leaves
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 liter of sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Mint sprigs and cucumber slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Wash the cucumber and mint leaves. Peel the cucumber, cut it into chunks, and place it in a blender.
- Add the fresh mint leaves to the blender.
- Squeeze the juice from the two limes and add it to the blender along with honey or agave syrup.
- Blend until everything is well combined and you have a smooth mixture.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large jug to get rid of any pulp. You should be left with a smooth, green juice.
- Pour the sparkling water into the jug and stir well.
- Fill glasses with ice, pour over the cooler, and garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of cucumber if desired. Serve immediately.
