1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it into thin slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Set aside.
2
Muddle the Mint
In a cocktail shaker or a large glass, place the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils and aroma.
3
Combine Ingredients
Add the cucumber slices, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the muddled mint in the shaker. Muddle all the ingredients together gently to mix the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the shaker or glass with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
5
Shake or Stir
If using a shaker, secure the lid and shake the mixture well for about 15 seconds. If using a glass, stir gently to combine the ingredients.
6
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a serving glass filled with fresh ice cubes. Top with sparkling water and stir gently to combine.
7
Garnish
Garnish your drink with a wedge of lemon and a few extra mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
