Instructions
Muddle the Cucumber and Mint
Peel and roughly chop half the cucumber. Place the chopped cucumber and 8 fresh mint leaves into a cocktail shaker or sturdy glass. Muddle firmly for about 20 seconds to release the juices and oils.
Add Lime and Syrup
Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled cucumber and mint. Stir to combine and let the mixture sit for 2 minutes so the flavors infuse together.
Strain into Glasses
Fill two glasses with ice. Pour the cucumber mint mixture through a fine mesh strainer into each glass, pressing on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Top with Sparkling Water
Slowly pour one cup of cold sparkling water into each glass. Pour gently over the back of a spoon to keep the bubbles intact and maintain carbonation.
Garnish and Serve
Slice the remaining cucumber thinly and fan two slices on the rim of each glass. Add a fresh mint sprig and serve immediately while the drink is still sparkling and cold.
