Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh mint because it adds a burst of flavor that just can't be replicated with dried herbs. If you don’t have cucumber, you can substitute with fresh basil for a different twist! Agave syrup is my choice for sweetness, but feel free to use maple syrup or even a little stevia if you're avoiding sugar.
Tips & Notes
- •If you find the mocktail a bit tart, just adjust the agave syrup to your liking; everyone has different tastes!
- •For a fun twist, try adding some sliced strawberries or a splash of pomegranate juice when you mix it all together.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to add a splash of coconut water for a tropical vibe.
- •If it's a colder day, I’ll blend everything and pour it over ice for a slushy version.
Storage & Freezing
This mocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, keep the mixture (without sparkling water) in the fridge for up to a day and add the sparkling water right before you sip!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this in advance?
Absolutely! You can mix the mint, cucumber, lime juice, and agave syrup ahead of time and just add the sparkling water right before serving. It’ll keep the fizz nice and fresh.
