Preparation method

How do you make this?

Making cucumber juice: Cut a 5cm piece of cucumber and roughly chop the rest. Place in a tall measuring cup and blend until smooth. Strain the juice and refrigerate.

Prepare the mocktail: Cut the cucumber into small pieces and put it in a glass with the basil leaves and lemon juice. Crush everything well with a muddler or the back of a spoon, so that all the aromas are released.

Assemble: Add the elderflower drink and stir well. Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour the mixture through, possibly straining it again.

Finishing: Finish with a cucumber strip and a basil leaf. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

  • For an extra fresh touch, you can add a little sparkling water.
  • Use a vegetable peeler to make a nice cucumber strip for garnish.
  • Want a slightly spicier twist? Add a little freshly ground black pepper.
