Cucumber Herb Spritzer
A cool, refreshing white wine cocktail for fans of spa water, but for adults only, of course. Best served at the end of the day, the start of a weekend, or with a bowl of fresh guacamole (made with California avocados!)
Ingredients
- 3 mint leaves
- 2 large basil leaves
- Juice of 1/2 a lime
- 6 ounces California white wine, such as Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc or Viognier
- 3 cucumber strips
- 3-4 ounces plain or lime-flavored sparkling water
- Ice
- Garnish: lime wheel, mint leaf & basil leaf
Instructions
- Tear the mint leaves and basil leaves into large pieces and add them to the bottom of a wineglass or tumbler.
- Add the juice of half a lime and use a spoon to stir, muddling the mixture a bit to release the flavor of the herbs.
- Add ice to the glass, then the white wine. Tuck the cucumber strips throughout the mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Top with sparkling water, then add the lime wheel and more mint and basil as garnish.
