Notes
To make cucumber juice, blend peeled cucumber and strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor and natural acidity.
If tonic water is not desired, sparkling water can be used as a lighter alternative.
Adjust the amount of lime juice to taste for more or less tartness.
Chill all ingredients ahead of time for an extra refreshing drink.
