Cucumber Spritz Mocktail Recipe
Light, refreshing, and naturally sweetened, this cucumber spritz mocktail is made with lemon, mint, and honey—no blender or muddler needed. Perfect for summer and family-friendly!
Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- 1 cup-size (237 ml) glass
Ingredients
- 3 thin slices lemon cut into rounds, seeds removed
- 7-8 thin slices Persian cucumber or enough to line the cup
- 1 tsp honey
- 8-10 small ice cubes
- 1/2 cup chilled lemon-flavored sparkling water (unsweetened)
- A few Sprigs Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Lemon: Slice the lemon into thin rounds and remove the seeds.
- Cucumber: Use a Y-peeler to shave the cucumber into long, thin strips. Slightly overlap the strips side by side to form one wide, flat sheet—like a big rectangle.
- To assemble: Add the lemon slices to the bottom of the glass. Drizzle in the honey. Then gently press the cucumber sheet along the inside wall of the cup, lining it from bottom to top.
- Add the ice cubes, then pour in the sparkling water.
- Garnish with mint leaves on top.
- Let the flavors sit for about 5 minutes before drinking.
Notes
- Batch mocktails: To make a larger batch for parties, just scale up the ingredients and mix everything in a pitcher using the same ratio.
- Make-ahead: This drink comes together fast. You can slice the lemons ahead of time, but for the freshest bubbles and best texture, shave the cucumber and assemble right before serving.
