CUCUMBER-MINT WATER



Cucumber-Mint Water image

Little things can make a dinner party a success, like serving a refreshing flavored water. This cucumber-mint sipper is a breeze to make in the blender. Chill and then strain before serving (letting the liquid sit with the cucumber-mint mash for as long as possible helps build flavor). It's also a perfect base for a cocktail; let your guests add gin or vodka to taste.

Time 1h15m

Yield six 1-cup servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium cucumbers, chopped
1/3 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Small handful fresh mint leaves
Large pinch kosher salt
Ice cubes, for serving
Gin or vodka, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Blend the cucumbers, sugar, lemon juice, mint, salt and 4 cups cold water in a blender until as smooth as possible (a fair amount of solids will remain). (If all the ingredients do not fit in your blender, use half the water to puree, transfer the puree to a larger container, then stir in the remaining water.) Refrigerate to chill, at least 1 hour.
  • Before serving, strain the cucumber-mint water through a fine strainer. Use the bottom of a ladle or wooden spoon to help push the liquid through the mesh. Discard the solids. Serve over ice. Add gin or vodka to taste if using.

I often add lemon, lime, or cucumber to my water, but fresh mint with cucumber is my favorite. Especially if it's ice cold, it's so refreshing in the summertime, and very clean tasting.
