Description
A refreshing cucumber-mint mocktail with edible flower ice, perfect for warm days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
- A handful of fresh mint leaves
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 ½ cups sparkling water or tonic
- Crushed ice or flower-infused ice cubes
- Edible flowers (like pansies, nasturtiums, violets or chamomile)
- Filtered water
Instructions
- Prepare flower ice (a day before): Place 1–2 edible flower petals in each section of your ice tray. Fill with filtered water and freeze overnight.
- Make the cucumber-mint base: In a blender, add the cucumber, mint, lime juice, and honey/agave. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh if you want a clear liquid.

- Garnish: Add a mint sprig, a thin cucumber ribbon, or extra flowers for that garden-fresh look.
Notes
- For a sweeter mocktail, adjust the amount of honey or agave syrup to taste.
- Experiment with different edible flowers for unique flavors and presentations.
