Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

2 medium lemons, freshly juiced

1/3 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

4 cups sparkling water, chilled

A handful of fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing your ingredients: peel and thinly slice the cucumber, and juice the lemons, ensuring to catch any seeds.

    In a blender, add the sliced cucumber along with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Once blended, strain the cucumber-lemon mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, discarding the pulp. This step ensures a silky texture for your spritzer.

        Add the honey or agave syrup to the cucumber-lemon juice in the pitcher. Stir vigorously until the sweetener is completely dissolved into the mixture. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey/agave if desired.

          Slowly pour the chilled sparkling water into the pitcher, gently stirring to combine. Be careful not to agitate too much, as you want to maintain the bubbles.

            To serve, fill each glass generously with ice cubes. Carefully pour the cucumber lemonade mixture over the ice, filling the glasses to the brim.

              For a touch of elegance, garnish each glass with a few fresh mint leaves and a couple of cucumber slices.

                Enjoy your refreshing Cucumber Lemonade Spritzer immediately while it's bubbly and revitalizing!
