Cucumbers and mint pair delightfully in this refreshing spritzer that's perfect for a summer afternoon on the porch.
Ingredients:
3 mini cucumbers
6 leaves fresh mint, plus sprigs for garnish
2 lemons or limes
1 liter lemon seltzer water

Directions:
Slice cucumbers into thin ribbons or disks using a mandoline or vegetable peeler. Place in a pitcher. Add mint leaves and gently muddle. Squeeze juice from 1 1/2 lemons (or limes) into the pitcher, reserving the other half for garnish. Stir in seltzer. Serve over ice, garnished with mint sprigs and lemon (or lime) slices, if desired.
