Cucumber Mint Refresher mocktail — a clear, translucent green drink served in a double old-fashioned glass with crushed ice, packed with muddled cucumber rounds and bright mint leaves.

Ingredients

4 muddled English cucumber slices
6 fresh garden mint leaves
0.75 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
6.0 oz Canada Dry Club Soda
0.25 oz Monin Sugar Free Sweetener

Instructions

Place the English cucumber slices, fresh mint leaves, and sugar-free sweetener in the bottom of a sturdy mixing glass.
Gently press with a muddler to release the juices and essential oils without tearing the leaves to shreds.
Add the fresh lime juice and fill the glass with crushed ice.
Pour the Canada Dry Club Soda over the top and stir from the bottom up to integrate the flavors.
Slap a fresh mint sprig against your wrist to release the aromatics and tuck it into the ice for garnish.
