Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the cucumber and lemons thoroughly. Chop the cucumber into chunks and squeeze the juice from the lemons.
Step 2: Blend
Add the cucumber, lemon juice, water, mint leaves, ginger (if using), and honey to a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Strain (Optional)
For a smoother drink, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. If you enjoy more fiber, you can skip this step.
Step 4: Chill
Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes, or serve immediately over ice.
Step 5: Serve
Pour into small shot glasses for a concentrated refreshment or into larger glasses filled with ice. Garnish with cucumber slices, lemon wedges, and fresh mint.
Tips
- Add sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy version.
- For extra flavor, include a few lime slices or a pinch of sea salt.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and stir well before serving.
