1
Prepare the Herbs
In a clean bowl, combine fresh basil leaves and fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the herbs to release their natural oils and aromas.
2
Add Cucumber
Add the diced cucumber to the muddled herbs. Mix gently to incorporate the cucumber with the herbs.
3
Mix in Juices
Pour in the lemon juice and honey into the herb-cucumber mixture. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
4
Combine with Sparkling Water
Gradually add the sparkling water to the mixture, stirring gently to combine without losing the fizz.

Fill glasses with ice if desired. Pour the botanist's secret mixture over the ice.

Top each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of basil for garnish.
7
