1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Cut off both ends, then slice it in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds if desired, then slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
2
Muddle the Mint
In a cocktail shaker or a large glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Avoid tearing them too much.
3
Mix Ingredients
Add the cucumber slices, lime juice, and simple syrup into the shaker/glass with the muddled mint. Use a spoon to mix the ingredients together gently, ensuring the cucumber and mint are well combined with the lime juice and syrup.
4
Add Ice and Sparkling Water
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the cucumber-mint mixture over the ice, then top it off with sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your Cucumber Cooler with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing beverage!
