Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cucumber peeled, roughly diced
  • 2 tablespoon elderflower cordial
  • 4 mint leaves
  • sparkling water
  • ice

To garnish

  • mint leaves

Instructions

  • Peel the cucumber, reserving a little of the peel to use as a garnish if you wish. Chop the cucumber into large pieces.
  • Add the cucumber pieces, mint leaves and elderflower cordial to a blender. Blend to a puree.
  • Strain the mixture using a cocktail strainer into your glasses, or alternatively place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and strain the mixture that way. Discard the pulp in the sieve and pour the cucumber liquid evenly into your glasses.
  • Top with ice, then pour on sparkling water. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to preference, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don't skip peeling the cucumber! The peel will not work in the drink as it is too tough and won't have that fresh taste.
  • Adjust the amount of mint to taste.
  • Use an unflavoured sparkling water or club soda rather than a flavoured or heavily mineralised water.
  • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
