Surely Cucumber Mint Spritzer
Despite having a posh appearance, anyone with a blender can create a cucumber mint spritzer. You can serve it to anyone because it's non-alcoholic. It’s like a mojito, or a faux-jito, without the need to muddle anything. Feel free to ice your glass for this spritz because this cool drink tastes great on hot summer days. Although stemless wine glasses also work, it’s recommended to use whiskey glasses for serving. Take your pick on which simple syrup recipe you'd like to make. We prefer original but lavender or berry would also be delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle Surely Sparkling Brut
- 1/2 cup cucumber slices (a common cucumber or English cucumber will do)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 ounces simple syrup
- 2 ounces lime juice
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine simple syrup, mint and cucumber. Mix thoroughly on high speed.
- Cucumber/mint purée is divided, then poured into two glasses.
- Add simple syrup.
- Stir well before adding chilled Brut on top.
- Add extra mint leaves, lime wheel and cucumber slices as a garnish.
Notes
Use a strainer on your liquid and remove any sediments you don't want in your completed beverage if you don't like the consistency of your cucumber juice.
