Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust according to sweetness preference)

4 cups sparkling water (or club soda)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Lemon slices for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: In a blender, combine the peeled and sliced cucumber with 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher, discarding the pulp. You should have a cucumber juice.

    Mix the Lemonade: In a large pitcher, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and honey (or agave syrup) until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to your taste, adding more honey if desired.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the cucumber juice to the lemon mixture and stir thoroughly until well combined.

        Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.

          Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the cucumber lemonade mixture to about 2/3 full, then top off with sparkling water (or club soda) for a refreshing fizz.

            Garnish: Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon on the rim. Stir gently to mix and enjoy immediately!
