The Mint Basil Cucumber Drink

With the weather being unpredictable these days, I am covering my bases. Yes, but who doesn’t want a refreshing, fancy water, especially if you struggle with meeting your daily recommended water consumption? Besides, I recently purchased a basil and mint plant, which are perched in my golden window box, basking in (seemingly) the only light in this apartment most days. The mint is growing out of control. This, a good thing. I can’t believe these little plants are still alive. I don’t have a green thumb. And now, please allow me to introduce, The Mint Basil Cucumber Drink.

The Mint Basil Cucumber Drink

Ingredients:

• 4-5 fresh basil leaves or 6
• 4-5 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 lime, cut into wedges
• 1/4 peeled cucumber
• 1 small bottle of Topo Chico sparkling water

Method

1. In a glass or cocktail shaker, add the basil leaves, mint leaves, lime wedges and cucumber
2. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the herbs, lime, and cucumber together. This will release their flavors.
3. Fill the glass with ice
4. Pour the Topo Chico sparkling water over the muddled herbs and ice
5. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients. Stirring release the bubbles
6. Garnish with additional basil leaves, mint leaves, lime wedges, or cucumber slices if desired, I skip the cucumbers.
