Recipe (2-3 servings)

  • Add one cup of crushed ice, 10 mint leaves, and one sliced cucumber to a blender (English cucumbers work best for their thin skin. If using a garden cucumber peel the skin off before adding to the blender)
  • Add 1/3 cup lime juice (1-2 limes) and 1/2 cup club soda
  • Blend on high until mixed (optional: add more club soda if the result is too thick for your liking)
  • Serve with a sprig of mint and a wheel of lime and enjoy!
