Ingredients & Substitutions
Cucumbers are super hydrating and have a mild flavor that pairs beautifully with mint. If you can find Persian or English cucumbers, they're great since they have fewer seeds. For the mint, fresh is key here—dried just won't cut it! You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less agave syrup to suit your taste.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my mint in a glass jar of water on the counter—it stays fresh for days.
- •If you want a little kick, throw in a pinch of cayenne pepper when blending!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll add a splash of coconut water for an extra tropical vibe.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I’ll blend in a handful of fresh berries for a fruity twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just remember, the sparkling water will lose its fizz, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. If you do have leftovers, you can always re-blend it with some new sparkling water!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the cucumber and mint mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just add the sparkling water right before you serve it for that fizzy freshness.

Add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
