Ingredients:
1/2 cucumber (peeled and sliced)
2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1–2 teaspoons sugar or honey (to taste)
1/2 cup soda water or sparkling water
Crushed ice
Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Sliced cucumber and lime wedges, for garnish

Prepare the Base:
Then peel and slice the cucumber. Put the slices in a blender, along with the lime juice and sugar or honey. Blend until a smooth green cucumber puree forms.
Strain (Optional):
To achieve a smooth texture, pass (or strain) the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp, if desired. This step is optional, but some people prefer the cucumber puree without the texture.
Combine with Soda:
Fill a tall glass with a handful of crushed ice. Pour the cucumber mixture over the ice, filling the ch glass to halfway. Add soda water or sparkling water, and stir gently to combine.
Garnish and Serve:
Toss in a couple of new mint leaves for aromatic note and garnish with a cucumber slice and a lime wedge. Serve immediately, with a straw for sipping.
How to Make Your Cucumber Cooler Your Own
This mocktail is super adaptable and can be adapted to your individual preferences. For something sweeter, add more sugar or honey. If you are a fan of herbs, play around with a little basil or rosemary for something different. You can also swap soda water for tonic water or coconut water for a different feel and flavor.
For an eye-catching presentation, serve the drink in colorful glassware or freeze slices of cucumber and leaves of mint into ice cubes to add to the drink. That makes a decorative and useful touch, as the ice (melts and) enhances the flavor.”
