Best Mediterranean Cucumber Tonic Recipes
MEDITERRANEAN CUCUMBER TONIC
This refreshing drink combines floral flavors from the Mediterranean, the sweetness of muddled cucumber, and a little bite from the Democratic Republic of Congo's "fever tree." It's an enlivened take on a gin and tonic that's completely alcohol-free.

Steps:
- In a rocks glass, muddle 1 mini-cucumber slice and fresh lemon juice. Top with ice, 2 more mini-cucumber slices, Fever-Tree Mediterranean tonic water, a squeeze from one slice of lemon, and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
CUCUMBER AND TONIC
An evolution of soda water with bitters, think of this as a spin on the gin and tonic. Vegetal cucumber and herby mint replace the botanicals in the gin. If tonic water is too bitter for you, swap in soda water instead. And, if you're eschewing alcohol in all its forms, skip the bitters. (They do contain alcohol, though it's diluted here.)

Steps:
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the cucumber lengthwise until you have long, wide ribbons.
- Place a few slices of lime and mint leaves in the bottom of a Collins glass, or other tall glass, and, using a wooden spoon, lightly muddle them to release the juices in the lime and oils in the mint. Add a few strips of cucumber and fill the glass with ice (crushed, if you've got it).
- Top with tonic water and a few dashes of bitters, if using.
