- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup dry gin
- 10 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Blend cucumber: Place the peeled and chopped cucumber into a blender and process until completely smooth, creating a fresh cucumber puree.
- Muddle mint and sugar: In a bowl, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves with the granulated sugar to release the aromatic oils and sweetness.

- Freeze in molds: Pour the prepared mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until completely solid.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to your preferred sweetness level.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute gin with soda water or tonic water.
