Cucumber Mint Mojitos – Easy Peasy Meals
Get ready to impress your taste buds and your guests with this delightful concoction. These mojitos are not just a drink; they’re an experience. As we dive into this refreshing recipe, make sure to have your shades ready to feel that summer vibe!
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
- 1 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 4 cups sparkling water or club soda
- Crushed ice
- Lime slices and mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- First things first, let’s make our cucumber base. Take the large cucumber and slice half of it into rounds. We’ll use the other half for some décor and extra flavor later. Get a blender and toss those cucumber rounds in it. Blend until smooth!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cucumber puree with sugar and lime juice. Stir it well until the sugar begins to dissolve. Remember, this is the magic potion that will bring life to our mojitos!
- Next, let’s talk mint. Grab yourself a handful of fresh mint leaves and give them a gentle smack (yes, give them a little love tap) to release their aromatic oils. Toss those aromatic beauties into the mixture and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This will infuse everything with minty goodness.
- Now it’s time to get fizzy! In a large pitcher, combine the cucumber-mint mixture with sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to combine. You don’t want to lose all that delightful fizz!
- Grab a glass, fill it halfway with crushed ice, and then pour in your mojito mixture. For a finishing touch, add lime slices and a mint sprig on top. Ta-da! You’ve got yourself a fabulous cucumber mint mojito!
Now sit back and sip away, because you’ve just become the cocktail aficionado of your circle. Cheers to refreshing drinks and sunny days!
