Ingredients

1 bottle · ~14–16 oz

Method · In press order

Press it in this order. Here's why.

  1. Fresh cucumbers growing on a vine with healthy leaves and soft natural light.

    Cucumber

    1 1/2 large

    Base + yield · trimmed

    Keeps the bottle light, refreshing, and easy to press.

    Press
    Start with cucumber to wet the press and build steady flow.
    Buy
    Choose cucumbers that feel firm and heavy for their size.
  2. Green apples growing on a tree branch with healthy leaves and warm natural light.

    Green Apple

    1 medium

    Gentle sweetness · cored

    Rounds the lime without making the juice fruit-heavy.

    Press
    Run apple next so the firmer texture carries flavor through the press.
    Buy
    Choose a firm green apple with smooth skin and no soft bruised spots.
  3. Fresh mint plants growing in an herb bed with intact vibrant green leaves.

    Mint

    8 leaves

    Cooling finish · rinsed

    Adds a clean herbal lift so the cucumber tastes colder and fresher.

    Press
    Tuck mint between higher-yield pieces instead of feeding leaves alone.
    Buy
    Look for perky leaves with no dark, wet, or slimy spots.
  4. Fresh green limes growing on a citrus tree branch with glossy leaves and soft sunlight.

    Lime

    1 small

    Acid + brightness · peeled

    Adds the crisp edge that keeps cucumber from tasting flat.

    Press
    Finish with lime, then stir gently before bottling.
    Buy
    Choose limes that feel heavy and give slightly when pressed.

Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

    Add more cucumber or a squeeze of lime to pull the bottle back toward crisp.

  • Too sharp

    Add a few cucumber pieces or a small apple wedge to soften the edge.

  • No mint?

    Use basil. Less cooling, more garden-herbal.

  • No lime?

    Use lemon. Softer citrus and slightly less sharp.
