Ingredients
Cucumber Slices – Freshly sliced cucumber is the core ingredient for this recipe. Feel free to add more to taste!
Fresh Lime Juice – A squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a zesty flavor that’s so refreshing.
Mint Leaves – The mint leaves in this mocktail add a bright and minty flavor!
Ginger Beer/Sparkling Water – I like using ginger beer, but sparkling water or soda works great, too. If you use plain sparkling water, I recommend adding 1-2 teaspoons of honey or agave syrup to sweeten the drink!
How to Make a Cucumber Lime Spritzer
Making a Cucumber Lime Spritzer Mocktail is so easy! Here’s how to put this non-alcoholic spritzer together:
- Place the cucumber slices, lime juice, and mint leaves in a sturdy glass and muddle them together with a spoon or muddler.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and strain (optional) the muddled mixture into the glass.
- Pour the ginger beer, sparkling water, or soda over the drink to taste (I used about 1/2 cup), then garnish with extra mint leaves and a lime twist!
Tips for This Refreshing Mocktail
Do I need to peel the cucumber slices?
No! You don’t have to peel cucumber slices for cocktails and mocktails. However, removing the cucumber skin can help with the muddling process.
Do I really need to strain the muddled mixture?
Straining the muddled mixture is totally optional! If you prefer a smoother texture in the drink, then go ahead and strain the liquid. However, you can just muddle the cucumber, mint, and lime right in the glass without straining, if desired!
Add extra cucumber slices to the drink!
Feel free to add extra cucumber slices to the drink to truly take this non-alcoholic spritzer to another level!
