This cucumber smash cocktail will be your new go-to refreshing drink! The light cucumber and tart lime mixed with the floral elderflower liqueur, make this one the most refreshing cocktails out there. It can be made year-round and is easy to whip up, what more could you ask for?

How do I make a cucumber and elderflower cocktail?

Start by muddling the cucumber and lime juice in a glass by using a muddler or the back of a spoon. Stir in the cucumber lime vodka, elderflower liqueur, sparkling water, and ice. Finally, garnish with a lime and voila! It is so simple, yet so delicious.

Key Ingredients

  • Cucumber- I chop the cucumber into a small dice
  • Lime juice
  • Cucumber lime vodka- you can substitute for non-flavored vodka, but cucumber lime vodka adds so much flavor
  • Elderflower liqueur- more info on this below!
  • Club soda- grapefruit flavored is delicious with this but you can also use lime flavored or plain!

What is elderflower liqueur?

Elderflower liqueur is made from elderflower blossoms. It adds a slight floral flavor and sweetness. Just a little goes a long way! I only use 0.5 oz of elderflower liqueur per drink. It is the secret ingredient to this cocktail and is so delicious! I recommend St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur.

How do I make a cucumber smash mocktail?

To make this cocktail a mocktail, I recommend mixing grapefruit sparkling water with muddled cucumbers and lime juice. Just like refreshing spa water!
