# Ingredients:

→ Core Ingredients

01 - 1 small ginger root, about 2 inches long

02 - 10 to 12 fresh mint leaves, roughly 1/4 cup

03 - 2 cups of clean drinking water

04 - 1 big cucumber (English variety), cut into slices

05 - 2.5 limes (around 1/2 cup freshly squeezed juice)

06 - 2 tablespoons of agave; honey or maple syrup also works

→ Final Touches

07 - Top each drink with sparkling club soda

# Instructions:

01 - Put ginger, cucumber, mint, water, and agave into a blender. Blend together until the mix is nice and smooth.

02 - Strain the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve to separate out the juice, leaving behind any solids. Keep the juice aside for the next step.

03 - Grab a glass and load it up with some ice cubes. Add cucumber slices, pour the green juice over the ice, leaving around an inch at the top. Finish by adding a splash of club soda, pop in some mint for garnish, and enjoy immediately.

# Notes:

01 - To make everything blend properly, go for a powerful blender.

02 - A fine-mesh strainer works great for removing pulp, or you can use a cheese cloth as an option.

03 - Want a little extra heat? Add more ginger to taste.
