Garden Breeze Cucumber Mint Cooler

This Garden Breeze Cucumber Mint Cooler is the ultimate warm-weather sipper that tastes like a spa day in a glass. I love making a big pitcher of this on Sunday afternoons when the herb garden is bursting and the fridge is stocked with fresh cucumbers. It comes together in minutes and disappears even faster!

Ingredients

• 2 medium English cucumbers, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
• 1/3 cup honey or agave syrup
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 4 cups sparkling water, chilled
• 1 cup coconut water
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 2 cups ice cubes

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and warm water until fully dissolved to create a light honey syrup, then set aside to cool.
2. Place the cucumber slices and mint leaves into a blender or large pitcher and muddle or blend briefly with the lime juice until the cucumber breaks down and releases its juice.
3. Strain the cucumber-mint mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing the solids firmly with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
4. Stir the honey syrup, coconut water, and pinch of sea salt into the strained cucumber-mint base until well combined.
5. Pour in the chilled sparkling water and stir gently once or twice to preserve the bubbles.
6. Fill four tall glasses with ice, pour the cooler evenly among them, and garnish each glass with a fresh mint sprig and a thin cucumber wheel on the rim.
