Method

Instructions for Preparing Library Refresher

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by washing the fresh mint leaves and set them aside. Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Mint and Cucumber

    In a large glass or pitcher, add the fresh mint leaves and sliced cucumber. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush them together. This will help release the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon Juice and Honey

    Pour in the lemon juice and add honey to the muddled mixture. Stir well to combine and dissolve the honey.

  4. 4

    Add Sparkling Water

    Slowly pour in the sparkling water, making sure to stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the Library Refresher over the ice. Garnish with additional mint leaves or cucumber slices if desired.
