1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Cut off the ends and slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds if desired, then chop the cucumber into small pieces.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the chopped cucumber pieces and fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the cucumber and mint together, releasing their juices and aroma.
3
Mix the Drink
Add the lime juice and simple syrup to the muddled cucumber and mint. Fill the shaker with ice, then shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with sparkling water and give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors.

5
Add Garnishes
Garnish your drink with cucumber slices and a sprig of mint on top for an attractive presentation.
