Equipment

Muddler or wooden spoon
Pitcher
Spiralizer

Ingredients

1 quart Sparkling Water
2 cups Cucumber spiralized
4 sprigs Fresh Mint plus more leaves for garnish
1/4 cup Lime Juice
2 Lime Wedges plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar

Instructions

Muddle the lime. Place 2 to 3 lime wedges in the bottom of a pitcher and add the sugar. Using a muddler or a wooden spoon mash the sugar and lime together to extract the juices.
Add the botanicals, lime, and cucumber. Add the spiralized cucumber to the pitcher and top with the lime juice, lime wedges, mint leaves, and fresh basil leaves.
Pour in the water. Pour the sparkling water into the pitcher and gently stir the ingredients together. Let sit for 10 to 20 minutes to let the ingredients infuse into the water.
Garnish. When filling individual glasses add some extra spiralized cucumber, lime wedges, and mint or basil for garnish before pouring the water in.

Notes

Muddling: When muddling lime wedges with sugar, be gentle to avoid bitterness from the lime peel. Just press enough to release the juices. Use a muddler if you have one.

Garnish Creatively: Experiment with garnishes like cucumber slices, lime wedges, or additional fresh herbs to enhance the visual appeal and aroma of your Gillywater.

Chill Ingredients: For the best results, ensure that your ingredients, especially the water and any mixers, are well chilled before assembling the drink.

Presentation: Serve Gillywater in a clear glass or goblet to showcase its colors and garnishes.
