Print Recipe

Experience the refreshing taste of summer with this delightful Cucumber Elderflower Spritz. This non-alcoholic beverage combines crisp cucumber, floral elderflower, and a splash of lime for a bubbly treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Half a medium cucumber, sliced thinly
  • 1–2 tablespoons elderflower syrup or cordial
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Non-alcoholic sparkling wine, sparkling water, or club soda
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Cucumber: Start by thinly slicing about half a medium cucumber. Reserve a few slices for garnish later. Place the majority of the slices into a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.
  2. Muddle the Flavors: Add 1-2 tablespoons of elderflower syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference) and about 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to the glass with the cucumber. Using a muddler, gently press the cucumber slices to release their juices and oils.
  3. Build the Drink: Fill your serving glass (or glasses, if making more than one) generously with ice. Strain the muddled cucumber mixture into the ice-filled glass.
  4. Top with Sparkle: Slowly top off the glass with your chosen sparkling component – be it non-alcoholic sparkling wine, sparkling water, or club soda. Pour gently to preserve the fizz.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Give the spritz a gentle stir to combine everything. Garnish with a few fresh cucumber slices and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately and enjoy.
