Ingredients for the Cucumber Lime Mocktail

The Cucumber Lime Mocktail is all about fresh ingredients, specifically produce and herbs, so it’s important to make sure your ingredients are quality.

• Cucumber: freshly sliced cucumber is the base for this cocktail and makes this drink super hydrating. I sliced up half a cucumber for this recipe. 
• Lime: slice one lime into either wedges or wheels to add citrus notes. 
• Mint: fresh mint adds a fun, herbal element to the cocktail. If you don’t have mint, basil is the perfect substitute. 
• Tarragon: for added depth, add tarragon to the pitcher. Tarragon adds earthiness which balances well with the sweet and citrus notes.  
• Frozen Limeade Concentrate: I used Hawaii’s Own brand for the limeade because it’s one of my favorites. You can find this in the frozen section at your grocery store. 
• Sparkling water: Finish this mocktail with an original flavored sparkling water or club soda. I recommend Topo Chico or La Croix. 

Note: 

• To make this into a cocktail, I recommend adding white rum, gin, or vodka to this recipe.

How to Make the Cucumber Lime Mocktail

This Cucumber Lime Mocktail is SO simple. In three easy steps, you can put together this delicious mocktail recipe.

To begin, grab your pitcher or water dispenser add the cucumber slices, lime slices, mint leaves, and tarragon leaves to a pitcher, and gently muddle with the bottom of a wooden spoon. This is important because it will release the fruit juices and natural oils from the herbs. Allow these ingredients to infuse together, then add the frozen limeade, sparkling water, and ice. Stir to combine and divide the mixture into glasses. If desired, serve with edible flowers, if desired.
