A crisp and invigorating beverage combining fresh cucumber juice, zesty lime, and bubbly tonic water, garnished with cucumber slices, lime wedges, and mint leaves for a refreshing drink perfect for warm days.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cucumber juice (freshly juiced or blended and strained)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup tonic water
  • Ice cubes

Garnishes

  • Cucumber slices for garnish
  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Juice: In a pitcher, combine the freshly juiced or blended cucumber juice with the fresh lime juice. Stir the mixture well to blend the flavors completely.
  2. Fill Glasses with Ice: Fill each serving glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and add refreshing coolness.
  3. Pour Mixture Over Ice: Pour the cucumber-lime juice mixture over the ice-filled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
  4. Add Tonic Water: Top each glass with tonic water to add a bubbly, slightly bitter contrast that enhances the drink's freshness.
  5. Garnish: Add cucumber slices, lime wedges, and fresh mint leaves to each glass for visual appeal and an extra layer of aroma and flavor.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while cold and bubbly, enjoying the crisp and revitalizing Cucumber Lime Refresher.

Notes

  • For a sweeter version, add a small amount of simple syrup or honey to the cucumber-lime mixture before serving.
  • Use chilled tonic water to keep the drink cold without diluting the flavors with additional ice.
  • To make cucumber juice, blend peeled cucumber and strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth for a smooth texture.
  • The drink is best served fresh to maintain the tonic's carbonation and the bright citrus flavors.
  • This beverage can easily be made vegan, gluten-free, and low calorie as is.
