1
Make Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once dissolved, bring to a gentle boil for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool. This will yield more syrup than needed, and any leftover can be stored in the refrigerator.

2
Muddle Cucumber
In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, slice the medium cucumber and add it to the bottom. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the cucumber, releasing its juices.
3
Add Ingredients
Pour in 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the prepared simple syrup over the muddled cucumber. Stir gently to combine.
4
Add Soda Water
Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the muddled cucumber mixture over the ice. Top off with 1 cup of soda water, stirring gently to combine.
5
Garnish and Serve
If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional cucumber slices. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cucumber Spritzer Mocktail!
