Marissa's MediterraneanA crisp, ultra-refreshing cooler that brings the essence of a Mediterranean garden straight to your glass. Perfect for a sunny afternoon or a post-workout hydration boost!
Place the sliced cucumbers and fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a large pitcher or individual glasses.
Use a wooden spoon to gently muddle the mint and cucumber to release their refreshing oils.
Pour the fresh lemon juice over the muddled mixture and let it sit for a minute to infuse.
Fill the glasses with ice cubes to the brim.
Top with chilled sparkling water and give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
Garnish with an extra sprig of mint and a lemon wheel for that vibrant look!
This is my favorite way to stay hydrated without reaching for a soda. The key is to muddle the cucumber and mint just enough to release their essence without turning them into mush. If you want it a bit sweeter, a tiny drop of honey works wonders, but I love the crispness of it as-is!
