Ingredients
  

Fresh Ingredients
  • 1 large Cucumber Choose firm, fresh cucumbers for the best flavor.
  • 1 whole Lime Fresh limes are best, but bottled lime juice can work in a pinch.
  • 1 cup Fresh Mint Can use basil or rosemary for a twist.

  • 1/4 cup Simple Syrup Adjust to taste; you can make your own or use store-bought.

  2. Pour in the simple syrup, adjusting to your taste for sweetness.

Chill everything to keep your drink refreshingly cool. Adjust sweetness as needed, and experiment with additional flavors like strawberries or fresh basil.
