Ingredients:
- 120 ml Raw Unsweetened Coconut Water
- 60 ml High-quality Sparkling Mineral Water
- 30 ml Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- 5 Thin slices of English Cucumber
- 1 tsp Freshly Grated Ginger
- 4 Fresh Mint Leaves
- 1 pinch Himalayan Pink Salt
Instructions:
- Place the 5 English cucumber slices, 1 tsp freshly grated ginger, and 4 mint leaves at the bottom of a tall glass or Mason jar. Note: Keeping the mint leaves whole ensures you get the oil without the bitterness of shredded chlorophyll.
- Add the 30 ml of freshly squeezed lime juice and a pinch of Himalayan pink salt to the glass.
- Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, press firmly and twist the ingredients until the aroma of mint and ginger fills the air.
- Pour in the 120 ml of raw coconut water and stir the mixture for at least 20 seconds. Note: This allows the ginger and cucumber flavors to properly infuse the liquid before the ice goes in.
- Fill the glass to the brim with large ice cubes. Note: Smaller ice melts faster and will dilute your hard earned flavor profile too quickly.
- Top with the 60 ml of sparkling mineral water and stir gently once. Note: An over aggressive stir will kill the bubbles.
- Check the color balance. You should see a beautiful jade tint from the cucumber and vibrant green flecks of mint.
- Garnish with an extra sprig of mint or a cucumber ri
