Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 medium honeydew melon
- 2 medium lime
- 10 whole mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Reserve a few slices for garnish, if desired.
Cut the honeydew melon in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh using a spoon or melon baller.
In a blender, combine the cucumber slices, honeydew melon flesh, juice of 1 lime, 6 mint leaves, honey, and water. Blend until smooth.
Place a fine sieve or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher and strain the blended mixture to remove any pulp. Use a spoon to press down and extract as much liquid as possible.
Juice the second lime and stir the fresh lime juice into the strained mixture.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the cucumber-melon mixture until each glass is about 2/3 full.
Top each glass with sparkling water, stirring gently to combine.
Garnish with reserved cucumber slices, remaining mint leaves, or a small wedge of lime, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors of the Cucumber Melon Cooler.
