Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 4 cups sparkling water, chilled
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. In a blender, combine the strawberries and honey. Blend until smooth and fragrant, capturing the lush, sweet aroma of strawberries.
  2. Strain the blended mixture through a fine sieve into a pitcher to remove any seeds. The resulting puree should be smooth and velvety.
  3. Add the cucumber slices, fresh mint leaves, and lime juice to the pitcher, gently stirring to combine. This will release the vibrant, refreshing scent of mint and cucumber.
  4. Pour the chilled sparkling water into the pitcher, gently mixing to blend all the flavors.
  5. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the strawberry-cucumber mixture over the ice. The drink will fizz delicately, adding a lively sparkle.
  6. Garnish each glass with additional cucumber slices or mint leaves if desired. Embellish with a strawberry on the rim for a festive touch.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

  • For a natural sweetener, replace honey with pomegranate juice.
  • Serve in chilled glasses to enhance the refreshing experience.
  • Add a splash of coconut water for a tropical twist.

Storage and Substitutions:

  • Refrigerate any leftover spritzer in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • If strawberries are not in season, use frozen strawberries, thawed, for a similar taste.
  • Substitute agave syrup for honey if preferred.

Pairings and Complements:

  • Pair this delightful spritzer with a light summer salad or a platter of fresh fruit for a harmonious taste experience.
  • For an indulgent treat, serve alongside a dessert of strawberry shortcake or cucumber sandwiches.
