Cucumber Mint Spritzer Recipe with Non-Alcoholic Wine

A cucumber mint spritzer may look fancy, but anyone with a blender can make this fizzy summertime drink happen. Since we’re skipping out on the booze in favor of non-alcoholic wine, you can serve it to anyone, too. 

It’s a little bit mojito — or faux-jito, really — without the need to muddle anything. Move over, smoothies.

Storing & Serving

This refreshing mocktail tastes best on warm summer days, so feel free to add ice cubes to your glass for this spritz. We like whiskey glasses for serving, but stemless wine glasses work, too.

At just 2 servings, you’ll likely finish this recipe shortly after you’re done pouring. If you want to make a bigger batch, just note that infused waters and mocktails with fresh produce come with an expiration date. 

How long does a cucumber mint spritzer last in the fridge? A cucumber mint spritzer doesn’t last long in the refrigerator. Serve your spritzer immediately, or keep it chilled for up to 24 hours. A tightly sealed container works best for storing mocktails.

Substitutions for Every Season

This spritz is easy to change up depending on your tastes or the season of your next sober party.

• Strawberry Mint Spritzer: Summer is peak strawberry season. If you’re not into cucumber, mix some strawberries with your fresh mint for a more fruit-forward version. Watermelon’s a delight, too.
• Cucumber-Apple Fizz: Add apple juice or blended apples, and this mocktail’s ready for fall. Squeeze in lemon juice or lime juice to avoid getting too sweet.
• L.A. Winter Mocktail: Southern California winters stay mild, so those folks are sipping on cucumber drinks all year. The classic prep calls for cucumber vodka, but seek out a non-alcoholic spirit, instead. Add club soda, seltzer, or sparkling water for extra fizz.

Food Pairings

Cucumber anything is excellent with light dishes. Think flatbreads and pesto pastas, heavy on the veg. If you want a similar flavor profile, try this mocktail with appetizers featuring fresh herbs, like Caprese skewers or bruschetta bites with basil.
