Mocktail Ingredients
- ½ cucumber, sliced
- 4 oz club soda
- Fresh mint leaves, a handful
- 4 oz Sparkling Ice Classic Lemonade
- Ice cubes, as needed
Optional Garnishes
- ½ cucumber, sliced into ribbon-like shapes
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Cucumber: Wash and slice half a cucumber into thin rounds. For garnish, optionally slice another half cucumber into ribbon-like shapes using a vegetable peeler.
- Assemble the Glass: Fill a serving glass halfway with ice cubes to keep the mocktail chilled.
- Add Cucumber and Mint: Place the sliced cucumber and a handful of fresh mint leaves into the glass, gently muddling them with a spoon or muddler to release the flavors without bruising excessively.
- Pour Liquids: Add 4 ounces of Sparkling Ice Classic Lemonade and 4 ounces of club soda into the glass over the muddled cucumber and mint.
- Mix Gently: Stir the mixture softly to combine all flavors while preserving the bubbles from the sparkling liquids.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with cucumber ribbons and lemon wedges on the rim of the glass for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing mocktail.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or simple syrup before stirring.
- Use fresh mint for the best aroma and flavor.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the mocktail cooler longer without diluting it with excess ice.
- The cucumber ribbons and lemon wedges add a visual appeal but are optional.
