Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium fresh cucumbers (peeled or unpeeled, chopped)
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups cold water or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the cucumbers and fresh mint leaves thoroughly. Peel the cucumbers if you prefer a smoother texture, then chop them roughly for easy blending.
  2. Blend the Base: Combine the chopped cucumber, fresh mint leaves, fresh lemon juice, and your preferred sweetener in a blender. Add a splash of cold water to start, then blend until smooth.
  3. Strain the Mixture: Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a pitcher to remove pulp and mint bits, resulting in a clear, crisp cooler.
  4. Add Water and Ice: Pour in more cold water or sparkling water to reach your desired consistency and chill the drink with plenty of ice cubes to keep it refreshingly cold.
  5. Stir and Serve: Give the cooler a gentle stir to mix all elements evenly, then serve immediately in chilled glasses garnished with a sprig of mint or a cucumber slice.

Notes

  • Use seedless cucumbers for less bitterness and smoother texture.
  • Always use fresh mint leaves and lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by adding sweetener little by little and tasting as you go.
  • Chill ingredients and glasses beforehand to enhance the cooling sensation.
  • Blend thoroughly for a smoother texture and better flavor extraction.
