Peel the skin off two medium-sized cucumbers and dice them into small pieces. This helps release their natural freshness when muddled.

In a cocktail shaker or a sturdy glass, add the diced cucumber. Tear or gently crush 10-12 fresh mint leaves and add them in. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, muddle the ingredients together until they release their flavors.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of simple syrup (or cane sugar dissolved in water). Adjust the sweetness according to your taste and stir gently.

Cut two limes in half and squeeze out the fresh juice into the shaker. This will add a zesty brightness to the drink.

Strain the mixture into a pitcher or individual serving glasses to remove any solids. If you prefer a pulp-free drink, strain it twice. Place the glasses or pitcher in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Fill each serving glass two-thirds full with the cucumber-mint-lime mixture. Top off with chilled Cava, allowing the bubbles to create a delightful fizz. Drop in a few ice cubes to keep it cool.

Garnish with a sprig of mint and a thin slice of cucumber. This not only enhances the drink’s presentation but also adds a refreshing aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy!
