Blueberry Cucumber Refresher
A crisp and invigorating mocktail blending fresh lime juice, blueberries, cucumber, ginger, and mint for a naturally sweet, herbaceous sip—finished with a splash of chilled club soda and a cucumber ribbon for a refreshing twist.
Ingredients
2/3 cup cold water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup cucumber, roughly chopped, plus 1 thinly cut lengthwise piece for garnish 2 teaspoons of fresh ginger, peeled (about a 1/2 inch piece)
3 mint leaves
3 ounces club soda to top, chilled
Instructions
Add water, lime juice, honey, blueberries, cucumber, ginger, and mint leaves to a blender.
Blend on high speed until completely combined.
Strain the mixture through a fine metal sieve into a glass filled with ice. Top with club soda.
Garnish the refresher by threading the lengthwise cucumber slice onto a cocktail skewer to create a wavy pattern, then add blueberries on the end of the skewer to hold the cucumber in place.
RECIPE TIP
If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more honey to taste.
VARIATIONS
Swap honey for maple syrup or simple syrup if desired.
You can swap mint for fresh basil if desired.
