Pro Tips for the Best Mocktail
Chill Everything: For the most refreshing experience, use chilled coconut water and sparkling water. You can even chill the glass beforehand.
Muddle Like a Pro: Muddling the cucumber and mint releases their essential oils and flavor. If you don’t have a muddler, use the back of a spoon.
Adjust Sweetness: Add honey or agave syrup to taste. If you prefer a no-sugar option, skip it—the cucumber and lime are naturally refreshing on their own.
Make It Fancy: Garnish with cucumber ribbons or a sprig of mint to make it feel extra special. Presentation is everything!
