Sparkling Cucumber Limeade

I'm been on the search for a yummy Summer drink! Check out this one!! 

How awesome, refreshing and cleansing are cucumbers? What could be better then cucumber and lime?? I think I'm going to make a batch and head to the pool right now...ha! Wish it was that easy... Love how this could easily turn into an adult beverage by adding your choice of floater.

Sparkling Cucumber Limeade

1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 cup water
¼ cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup lime juice
1 medium English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
2 cups sparkling water, chilled

Combine sugar, lime zest and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add mint. Let sit for 30 minutes to cool. Strain the lime syrup and add lime juice and cucumber. Refrigerate for 1 hour. When ready to serve, add in sparkling water and serve over ice.
