Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Make the Simple Syrup
  • In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water.

  • Step 2: Prepare the Cucumber
  • Take the sliced cucumber and place it in a cocktail shaker.
  • Use a muddler to gently press the cucumber slices to release their juice. This should take about 30 seconds.
  • Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
  • Add the fresh lemon juice and simple syrup to the shaker with the muddled cucumber.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid. Shake well for about 15-20 seconds to combine the flavors.
  • Step 4: Strain and Serve
  • Strain the mixture into two serving glasses filled with ice cubes, leaving the cucumber pulp behind.
  • Top each glass with club soda or sparkling water, stirring gently to combine.
  • Garnish with cucumber slices and a lemon wedge for an extra touch.
  • Step 5: Enjoy!
  • Sip and enjoy this refreshing Cucumber Lemonade Fizz, perfect for any occasion.
